Warbird Information Exchange

RAAFA Bull Creek Museum in Perth, WA has acquired a fairly intact and substantial former South African Air Force CL-13B Sabre jet for static display. Parts are needed to finish off the aircraft which was saved from scrap for $2,000 it seems... http://www.raafawa.org.au/museum/the-museum/blog

Great! Glad to always hear an aircraft is saved from the scrapper!

Chicks Dig Warbirds.......right?

That's great news!! Nice to see that this old bird was saved from the scrap heap. My father-in-law flew Sabres with RCAF 434 Sqn in the '50's. Milberry's book, The Canadair Sabre, has a decent history on this a/c. She was built in Montreal in 1956 and was first flown on 24.5.56. C/n was 1492 and Tail No. was 383/23702. She was delivered 11.10.56. 1/L, 2/M. P (Kempton Park Tech. College, RSA). Hope this helps.

Good luck and please keep us updated on the restoration.

They are after the Horizontal Stab, Vertical Stab, and the elevators and rudder. If anyone knows of any can you please PM me. There is also a few panels missing but they should be pretty easy to make up.
