Looking closer than they actually are, Temora's Hudson flies in formation with HAR's Neptune during a warbird display at Avalon
Avalon 2011 marked the fourth occasion I've seen Temora Aviation Museum's sharkmouthed Spitfire VIII VH-HET. Not complaining though!
Another Australian warbird present at Avalon was VH-ZOC, a P-40E Kittyhawk in 112 Sqn RAF markings.
The appearance of Temora's Meatbox (Gloster Meteor) VH-MBX meant another chance for me to hear the Blue Note during its display. No complaints there!
