Wangaratta is the home for P-51 The Flying Undertaker for the monent as we mind it for the new owner.
Although it's better known by staff as the Flying Hairdresser.

G'day all

Yep, heard and saw the tang fly over my place when it left Adelaide after coming in from Western Australia via Cenduna. Story has it that it will soon be accompanied by a F4U-4, Spitfire, Sea Fury and P-47 and all will be at Wangarratta. They'll need another Hangar soon what with all the projects there and the others on the way!

Would be nice to see them all lined up there though, be a great flying show too!.......ooops did I say too much???

Sorry can't be more specific about the Corsair, this information was relayed to me by another party. I'll ask and if it can be clarified I'll get back to you on it.
