A rare aircraft type will hopefully after a restoration - which is underway at present - see it return to the Australian skies in 2015.

A Macchi MB-326H trainer jet once used by the RAAF and in the Roulettes aerobatic team, is scheduled to fly in mid to late 2015 all going well.
https://www.facebook.com/Macchi25 is where you can keep track of their progress.

Ive offered some of my knowledge and support to help the project reach its goal.

There are 5 of them flying in South Africa... although only one of them (ZU-IMP) is regularly seen at Air Shows.
Not a great number ... considering that the SAAF had about 250 of them (single and dual seaters)
In SA they are known as Impala's
