Description
Winjeel A85-426 is a former RAAF Forward Air Control Aircraft that operated extensively in the Hunter Valley from their base at RAAF Williamtown. The first Winjeel was designed and developed by CAC in Victoria which was completed in 1951 to deliver the requirement for an aircraft to fulfil the basic training role previously carried out by the Tiger Moth and later the CAC Wirraway. The A85-426 was the 26th Winjeel produced and was delivered to the RAAF in June 1956. It was later converted from the training role to a Forward Air Control aircraft through the installation of smoke bomb racks and sights, upgraded radio equipment and aerials and camouflage markings.
Ideal for someone who is looking to take in the sights of the Upper Hunter in a genuine military trainer turned Forward Air Control aircraft with up to 3 passengers.
