Matthew close but no cigar.

Nigel, the Venom was in a park off Albatross Rd & Kalandar St near Nowra Cemetery.

The a/c was WZ943

It was removed after it rotted and fell off the pole after a storm.

Then again they don't always remove the functionality..

Theres a DC-3 on a pole out the front of the PX HQ in Port Moresby

Thanks Greg. You'd think after nearly 20 years living down there I'd remember what all the planes on poles were!

If the guys in Darwin put the B-52 on a couple of 44's. Would that count ?

There was a B-52 on poles in the US but it has since been removed.

West Wyalong NSW has a DC3 in the park and Nyngan has a Huey nr the Railway Station

Hurricane on a pole at MOTAT (Museum of Transport and Technology) Auckland NZ. Absolutely well worth a visit. Its the only plane on-site that is a replica. More photo's on Motat soon.

The Sabre at Raymond Terrace has now been removed and is at Fighterworld at Williamtown for a much needed restoration.

Steve,

Word is that is won't be going back to the Terrace ?

Can you confirm ?

It's staying at fighter world

thanks jaryd.

I remember when it went up on the pole as well as the last Sabres at Willytown.

That's the same museum that has the Spruce Goose.

Great if those were the slides used for the emergency exits in an emergency...
