You've done it now. I'm going to have to add another day to my planned European trip later in the year (that's if one day is enough to see everything in the museum).

Just recovering from some knee surgery last Wednesday, so have a little time to dig out the Perth Spitfire on a pole photographs from my archive. Both
these images were taken on 23rd and 24th May 1992 respectively, outside the Air Force Association Club, in Bull Creek from memory, and not far from
Jandakot. Not too bad for 20 year old prints.

Also found this shot of the port side from 22nd March 1993

Have found pics of some of the a/c mentioned in posts:

The DC-2 on a pole at Albury Airport photo must have been taken quite a while ago now, as it has sat in, or next to a hangar for a number of years now while while the Albury Council decides what to do with it, or more likely, who is going to pay to bring it back to displayable condition.

Yes Tim, September 1990 was my last trip to Albury ad was driving back from Melbourne.

For those who haven't read all the posts, the Mooney is at the entrance to Jandakot airport and photo taken in April 1987. Apparently Vh-REM is not it's real identity but can't recall the true ID.

From memory the Mooney was to commemorate a Flying Sister/Nun/Nurse who operated from Jandakot.

Kingswood had a Canberra & Mirage (I Think) sitting on the gate.

There a DC-3 at West Wylong.

There was a DC-3 on a pole at Cairns in "Bushies" livery but I think it has also been taken down.


Does anybody remember the id of the Vampire which was displayed at Bankstown ATCC and taken out by a drunk driver ?

Long before the Iroquois was on the stick at Nowra, there used to be another aircraft there...possibly a Sea Venom? There also used to be another "plane on a pole" where Kalandar St, Kinghorne St and Albatross Rd meet. The empty pole is still there, but for the life of me I can't remember what the plane was (unless this was where the Sea Venom was?:confused:)

Has Amberley got a F-111C as a gate guard yet?
I heard they were going to put one there....

was in Cairns last week and never saw one around the airport

There's a Vampire at Bolton Park, Wagga...
