1 of only a handful still flying in the world and proudly Australian made 🇦🇺💪. The CAC Wirraway A20-176. Taking its name from an Aboriginal word meaning ‘Challenge’, the two-seat Wirraway was the first military aircraft to be mass-produced in Australia. The Wirraway on display was built in 1942, as RAAF A20-81 and served a training aircraft in Victoria during World War II and stayed with RAAF until 1957. Passing into civil hands, it was restored in Qld and first flew in 1995 with the colour scheme of A20-176. CAC Wirraway A20-176 is part of the Paul Bennet Airshows fleet and is a flying exhibit in the Hunter Warbirds aircraft collection.
