I've got an altimeter from an Anson that my Grandfather brought back from Libya in WW2 . Get In touch if you want it!

@Beniah107 11 месяцев назад

You might find it easier to contact the Heritage Flight so they know it’s available.

@frednerk5959 11 месяцев назад

Contact details? (if you have them) Thanks for showing an interest!@@Beniah107

It is fantastic to see these brilliant volunteers using their vast knowledge, skills and expertise to undertake these major restoration projects. Hopefully their skills can be passed on to others. Congratulations to everyone involved.

From the far side of the world, I had the distinction of working with someone who said he had the distinction of being the first person to fit an Anson elevator upside down. He did the job, and then it was checked , and checked again , until it reached its final check by the “chiefy” who kept scratching his head. Clearly something was puzzling him and eventually he said it could wait until after lunch. He clearly chewed on something over lunch because he immediately saw that it was upside down. So be careful !!

It's amazing planes that non existent from WW2 get found in barns old hangers an sheds on peoples homes😮

@LeonAust 11 месяцев назад

As I watched this video I was thinking this must be for static display only. After viewing a few airshow display crashes it seems a safer way to hold on to historys aircraft.

@LeonAust 11 месяцев назад

Why could not every major city in Australia have a men's shed RAAF restoration project. As there is plenty of ex RAAF, general aviation, QANTAS, GAF/CAC, Hawker de havilland employees on or bordering on retirement.

@tonyriordan2853 6 месяцев назад

I find it amazing that the Royal Australian Air Force has a full team that are all retired volunteer's. Where are the paid RAAF mechanics and other personal? Why are so many ex RAAF aircraft with battle history being sold and shipped out of the country when they can be in the 100sqn Raaf

@glenncarter9715 11 месяцев назад

sadly it is the most difficult ADF museum to visit with permission required to visit nowadays closing 2 weeks before the actual date of the opening day its restrictions mean that the public are unable to visit last time i tried to visit i had the permission form done for the day but the museum closed 4 hours early on the day with no explanation meaning i had travelled 2000km for nothing there were many other angry visitors wanting to come in ! the Puckapunal museum is worse only having 6 or 7 days open in the last few years

@ldnwholesale8552 11 месяцев назад

You would think with the money spent they would like to make a bit back. And give the volounteers some appreciation as well

@frostedbutts4340 11 месяцев назад

Blame the State Govt for pulling the promised money for Puckanpanyal. Which sucks, because they have a great collection.

@bruceday6799 11 месяцев назад

You folks wouldn't know where to find a set of F-111 nosewheel doors and a set of tires for it would you? The mains are as far as I know unique to the airplane.

@raafdocumentaries 11 месяцев назад

Yep, there's a place out Ipswich way, but you have to bring a shovel.

@bruceday6799 11 месяцев назад

@@raafdocumentaries I've heard of a hole, our F-111 was towed over 100 miles on a 108° day. Tires are gone, nosewheel doors destroyed. I sure was hoping there might be parts on a shelf somewhere.
