Watts Bridge (ex-RAAF wartime airfield) in Qld had a Fly In on Sunday 27 August - some photos showing warbirds are alive and well in Australia.

Nice pics mate. Snifter is probably my favourite 'stang getting around down here.

Some more shots from Watts Bridge of a bloody big Avenger.

Do you know who flies Snifter?

It's owned by the Caboolture mustang syndicate who I think also own a couple of Wirrarways as well.

Nice shots of the Avenger, was this it's first public display? Would be great to see it airborne with the other QLD one.

Not sure if this is its first public display or not. First time I have seen it. Understand from colleagues that it one of the ex-firebombers from the US restored on the Gold Coast. There is a third Avenger, also another ex-fire bomber, being restored on the Coast. We will have the largest air force of Avengers anywhere in the world soon!
