Recently visited The Historic Aircraft Restoration Society (HARS) at Albion Park
around 2 hours drive south of Sydney. This organisation has existed since 1979
from humble beginnings the organisation has grown to what is possibly the
largest collection of airworthy multi engine vintage aeroplanes in the world.
The entry fee $20.00 for this you are escorted through the two hangars
which includes the airworthy, static and aircraft under restoration.
One of these two seat Vampires will be made airworthy.
These two ex RAAF jets the Canberra and Sabre are both statics.
Earlier ex RAAF Type both the Tiger Moth and ex RAN Auster are airworthy.

A Wirraway under restoration.
The Wirraway’s sister, brother or cousin, the Ceres.
This Harvard had German airforce markings, she is not owned by HARS,
the organisation is active in taking on outside work to help finace running
the collection’s aeroplanes.
Note the larger spaced canopy panels.
I always get these mixed up but will have a stab, this CT4 is being restored to fly.
This BF 108 Taifun was once the personal aircraft of Franz Stigler, see his story below*.
* Franz Stiglers’s story.

Will post the heavies of the collection after a bit of a breather, getting square eyes!
