Me too. Must be those Grumman genes that were passed on so well to the Wildcat, Hellcat, Bearcat, Tigercat, even the Tomcat.

They must be elsewhere in storage awaiting restoration or on loan. Took the guided tour and there was no mention or sight of them.

It was a beautiful model. If I could have fit it under my T-shirt....Nah, just kidding.

Great pics. Does he still have a Wirraway there?

Didn't see a Wirraway. Closest thing was the AT-6, the trainer the Wirraway was based on. Might be under restoration and not on display.

No worries. On a side note completely off topic, the Wirraway was actually derived from the NA-16 and not the T-6, which also originated from the NA-16. Sorry to sound pedantic
Again nice pics.

You're absolutely correct. I got the trainers mixed up.
Thanks for setting me straight on that.- Thread starter

Must not have been on site that day. Way too big to miss. Biggest aircraft on the grounds was the Connie.
