Darwin, Australia warbirds sightings
Mon Aug 20, 2012 8:08 am
On a recent trip to Darwin i did, the RAAF held a open day for a tactical exercise and part of included a very small warbird static display.
Along with other warbird friends we saw on display a T-6 Harvard in RNZAF scheme, a Tigermoth in RAAF markings and a civil marked Auster.
The far north of Australia has a relatively small warbird operation but neverless, these aircraft gave a good comparison for the public to see the fast jets and WW2 era aircraft alongside each other and to also see how 40years of technology had advanced.

Photos of the three aircraft.The Harvard and Tiger Moth fly regularly but the Auster J5 is a static example from the museum.
