CAC CA-25 Winjeel A85-418 ANAM 2008

This Winjeel A85-418 walkaround was taken at Moorabbin Air Museum in late 2008. They had just pulled their Winjeel out of storage for a freshen up. Hopefully the wings, engine and tailplane will be re-attached also. I'll keep an eye on this and post some pics if it is re-assembled. In the mean time, these pics give an unusual insight into the structure of the Winjeel. Of particular interest to modellers will be the intact stencilling, and a hint of an earlier colour on the fin. She appears to be in the original service paint and hasn't been re-done. The Winjeel, an Australian designed and built aircraft, served the RAAF as a trainer between 1955 and 1975. It replaced both the Tiger Moth ab-initio trainer and the CAC Wacket advanced trainer. Winjeels served further as FAC (Forward Air Control) trainers until 1990! Quite a few Winjeels served in this way. Only four were used at any one time, but the retired trainer airframes were rotated out of storage for the purpose.
