I'm suprised nobody has commented on the wooden shape just visible under the tail in the first photo.

They did - post no. 8

Hi John,
Indeed, that is why I said at least two!
I also believe Temora has acquired A94-942, 952 and 956 so who knows what will happen.
Did I here some-one say "economies of scale"???
By the way, if any one out there has any peformance, handling or pilots' notes for the CAC Sabre we would love to hear from you!
Cheers Martin

I have several of the books from here,and they are terrific books,focusing on Aussie use of various aircraft,and details on the construction side of things for those built here.
