Love the Aussie Sabre. Built by CAC at fisherman's bend, they have a rolls royce avon engine (same as the hawker hunter) and instead of 6 x .50 Cal machine guns that the american version had, we had 2 x 30mm canons in ours. (my old man was in the RAAF from the age of 16 as an armourer and has ridden in all sorts of aircraft including orions, hercs, a 2 seater mirage, a winjeel and a canberra.)

I really need to go to Temora Aviation museum again soon. I could live there nothing beats the smell of burning av-tur!!!

Oh and if you can spare an hour, do yourself a favour and watch this doco about the rescue of a B29 Bomber from the frozen wastelands of the arctic
