Many thanks, Graham. :)

The out of print Geoff Pentland A4 size booklet "Wirraway and Boomerang markings" Koohaburra publication - Melbourne Aust @ 1970 had some drawings out of the manual, I have a manual myself that I can scan selected pages for you, or else for full size construction related drawings you would need to contact Matt Denning in Brisbane Queenland

I assume you are modelling, what details are you after?

regards

Sorry it took so long to reply Mark, I hate it when what I have to do gets in the way of what I want to do. :)

Thank you for your post. I have the volume that you suggested, also a couple of other Monographs relating to the Boomerang. I emailed Matt Denning some months ago. But, alas no reply as of yet.

From what I can gather from the research that I have done, there are no original CAC Boomerang factory drawings left. I believe they were desposed of when the Type was replaced with better preforming overseas aircraft.

All the best.
Graham

Hi Henry, there is ...say a prayer or two that I win lotto :D
seriously though.... I'm sure I can put you in touch with some other Boomer restorers down your way or you may be able to help me out with some technical assistance if your up this way. Theres not a lot happening at the moment...just collecting more parts so that when the money and time come together I can get the impetus to get to the next stage in the restorations
