VH-BVB is a 1945 De Havilland Aircraft Pty Ltd DH-82A

Google is your friend... Wink

If I don't know a type, I just google the registration or put it in the search at airliners.net

Splendid work, thanks for taking us along this airshow!

It is a Swift, thanks for that.

Yes indeed, but they were just circuits. I have shots of the Connie taking off, in the air and as it landed. If you look closely in the first shot, in the top right hand corner, there is a faint glimpse of the Connie. Its easily recognisable in the high-res shot. The Dakota also flew.

Quite - otherwise that would have been a hell of a modification of a Tiger Moth. Wink
