RAAF Edinburgh Airshow 2019 - Morning Flying Display

This weekend, RAAF Edinburgh hosted the RAAF Airshow for 2019.

There were two flying displays, with the morning session given over to mainly historical aircraft and the afternoon session for more modern types

Here are a few photos from the morning session.

This is a A19-040 (|Civilian Reg VH-CTK) a CT-4A Airtrainer, used as the RAAF initial trainer for many years.  It was designed and built in New Zealand, but it was derived from the Victa Airtourer, and Australian design sold to NZ.


Next is 68-10779 (VH-XVA) a Cessna A-37B Dragonfly. This is a ground attack aircraft flown in the Vietnam war in support of Australian ground troops.


A20-695 (VH-MFW) is a Commonwealth CA-16 Wirraway, extensively used as a training aircraft just after WW2.  


Lockheed Hudson A16-211 (VH-KOY) is the only airworthy Hudson left in the world.  It was used extensively in WW2 by many air forces in a variety of roles.


The last three aircraft will be recognised by many as the fighters that won WW@ for the allies.  

First up, the Hawker Hurricane. V6748 (VH-JFW) is a Canadian built example built in 1942 and used by the RAF in WW2.


This Supermarine Spitfire A58-602 (VH-HET) was delivered to Australia right at the end of WW2 and went straight into storage before being sold to Sydney Tech as an instructional airframe.


Finally, the North American P-51 Mustang, (or in this case an Australian built CA-18 Mustang), A68-118 (VH-AGJ) was delivered to the RAAF after the war, and damaged in a mid air collision in 1950.  It was restored back to flying condition in 1961.


Part 2 - the afternoon flying display will follow shortly....
