Sept 2013: the RAF Red Arrows perform at the annual Airshow over the Jersey Islands, UK.St Helier Beach is the Island's original Airport, with landings and take-off restricted to low tide! Today it is the site for the annual Air show, with the esplanade providing a great (and free) vantage point.

Sept 2013: At the annual 'warbirds' Airshow at Duxford; just south of Cambridge, UK.The War Museum Duxford is a branch of the Imperial War Museum. Britain's largest aviation museum, Duxford houses nearly 200 aircraft, military vehicles, artillery and minor naval vessels in seven main exhibition buildingsBased on the historic Duxford Aerodrome, the site was originally operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the First World War. During the Second World War Duxford played a prominent role during the Battle of Britain and was later used by United States Army Air Forces fighter units in support of the daylight bombing of Germany.

Jun 2014: Display at the enterence to RAAF Wagga Wagga. The Australian Sabre (foreground) was a re-engined version of the North Amercian F86 which was delivered too late to serve in the Korean War. The Mirage 3 kept close to the original (French) design, with 110 assembled in Australia. In turn the Mirage was replaced by the FA18 Hornet.

March 2014: Point Cook RAAF Base for the RAAF Centenary Airshow.

The Army's Eurocopter Tiger was on static display with many past and present RAAF/Army/Navy aircraft participating in the flying displays.

Post WW2, Australia purchased from the UK our first aircraft carrier, HMAS Sydney with the Hawker Sea Fury Mark 11 (air defence) and the Fairey Firefly AS-6 (anti submarine). [Photo bottom left].

HMAS Melbourne arrived in May 1956, carrying De Havilland Sea Venom F.A.W. and Fairey Gannet AS1/4 Anti-submarine aircraft. [Top left, with a silver Mig15 to the left of both photographs.] The Melbourne was given a half-life modernisation refit in 1967, and (used) US aircraft were procured; the Skyhawk fighter (centre of right photo) and Tracker ASW (far back of photograph with wings folded).

"G for George" has been on display at the Australian War Memorial (Canberra) for as long as I can remember.
It still looks great (to me) and has a great story to share.
