I flew into Maryborough (Vic) yesterday on a Nav exercise and while there stretched the legs and chatted to the local guys who were in the process of preparing a very nice Chipmunk for sale by auction. I find out it is part of the John Fisher collection, Solo London to Sydney, flyer amongst other things who unfortunately died in 2012 after crashing his Tigermoth.

 

For anyone interested this action of memorabilia and aircraft with lots of Tigermoth bits and even a Vampire jet is on the 30th of this month at Maryborough.

 

Google Mossgreen Autions for details.

Some great books, technical stuff, paraphernalia as well as the aircraft. Sad to see it broken up.

 

Excellent hangar there for somebody, too, with a mezzanine office and all.

Incredible collection, saw it all last year when I had my PA28 at Robs for an annual amazing !Am heading there on the day. The colored brochure is incredible i it's own right. Should be a good turn out, lots of us flying in on the day but the auction I believe is in town.

Yes the Auction is being held in town and I have a copy of the Auction Catalogue, the details from the web site are as follows.
