It has taken some time, however at last I have completed the inputting of my sightings as well as my photographs for my recent trip to Australia.
It was organised by Grant Robinson under the Oxford Aviation Group banner.
The trip was actually organised Pre Covid, however as all travel was cancelled to Australia, this was the first opportunity to carry out the itinerary for the tour.
This first set of reports will be for the various museums which we visited. After these have been posted, probably next week, I shall share with you my sightings noted at the many airports and airfields that we visited. Our end target was the excellent Australian International Air Show at Avalon.
Our first museum of the tour was the RAAFA Aviation Heritage Museum of WA at Bull Creek~West.Aust.
