Warbirds

Temora warbirds airshow

Some 12,000 spectators can attest to the success of the Temora Aviation Museum’s biennial Warbirds Downunder Airshow on November 2, which included a memorable flypast of a Mustang and RAAF Hornet with the museum’s two Spitfires, its Sabre and its Meteor.

The flying display ranged from that historic formation flight to RAAF Hornet and Hawk solo displays, the RAAF Roulettes, HARS’ Catalina, a Caribou and its ever-popular Connie, TAM’s Sabre, its Mk VIII Spitfire flown by museum founder David Lowy, and its Boomerang and Hudson, to Judy Pay’s ex-Rhodesian Vampire. There were formation flights and aerobatic displays aplenty, from the Southern Knights with its four-ship North American T-6 Texan formation, to T-28 Trojans and ex RAAF CT-4As and Winjeels.
