facthunter Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Wikipedia will give you all the Info on these planes to satisfy your question. I can recall Boomerang aircraft from Williamtown flying at about 500' past Newcastle Baths just afyter the war Some Wirraways were made into the Ceres cropduster. A pilot I flew with for years killed himself and passenger at Nowra in a Wirraway on final approach to land.. I had another friend who trained with me, get dumped on the ground in a patch of warm air, cropspraying Cotton at low level at night.. in a Ceres.
