Now on display at the Wanaka Transport & Toy Museum are 3 Australian homebuilt aircraft acquired from the now closed Australian Aviation Museum at Bankstown. Photos below are courtesy of the Derelict Aircraft Preservation Group Facebook page and history details of each are below.
Corby CJ1 Starlet 28-0493 c/n N113 was originally registered as VH-JGT on 16 Dec 85 moving to the Recreational Aircraft Australia Register as 28-0493 on 27 Apr 92. It was cancelled as expired on 27 Apr 07 and donated to the Bankstown Museum by owner Gordon Timmins.
Druine D31A Turbulent 19-4864 c/n N273/Q200 was registered on 20 Nov 06 and cancelled as expired on 30 Aug 13.
And lastly the unique Syndetta FTB which was designed and built by Joseph Kunovsky of Sydney in the 1990s. Powered by a 18kw JPX 3 cylinder radial engine it was never registered as its builder passed away after a limited amount of ground testing.
Anyone know which year the Bankstown museum closed?
