Been looking for these for a good while now.

BTW, Rod WEB site is MORE than reccomended.

The collection of pics he has accumulated through the years is worthy of mention.

That's a relief - I'd heard a rumour that it had been scrapped.

The wing looks very flat bottomed and the tip are quite fat as well. I would guess a replica, or at least part replica anyway.

U might be right, I was concentrating around the langding gear & the cowling / stacks areas

Would be shocking these days and age to find such an AC outside....but then, you never know :!:

Tks for the input

Quote:
Photo of planes at a promotional event on the roof of the Roselands shopping centre in w:Roselands, New South Wales. Photo taken by a relative who said it was taken in 1970 or 1971. The planes shown are a Mustang on the left, Japanese "Oscar" in the middle, and the wing of a Spitfire on the right.



Must be when it was in Col Pay hands.
