Default New CAC Boomerang fighter website - rare images

I would like to let everyone know on this historic occasion (December 17th
2003 being the 100th anniversary of powered flight) that I have launched a
new website on my Australian designed and built CA-13 Boomerang world war
two fighter aircraft. The site includes images of the derelict airframe as
discovered, many detailed pictures taken throughout its restoration, as well
as some air to air images taken since February this year when it undertook
its first post-restoration flight.

The web site address is www.boomerang-flight.com I hope that you
enjoy.

Regards,

Matt Denning

Excellently well done - but you sure know how to make a job last :-)

Idle curiosity - who did the first flight? - I gather you were probably
second (?)

A real credit to all involved - it looks great - and I appreciated the
flying notes particularly since although I used to see Ceres (converted
Wirraways) every day at the next door hangar, I never got to fly in one.

Great work Matthew. Any chance you'll have the Boomerang at Tyabb next year?
I know plenty of people who'd love to see it.

PS. You're Boomerang has been my wallpaper for quite some time (photo by
G.Alderton). I've bought the reissued Airfix kit with your markings which I
intend to build soon. (I played an insignificant part in helping Daryl scan
some of those drawings).

Regards

Thanks for that. Yes the plan is to get the Boomerang to the next Tyabb
airshow if the sponsorship funding to get the aeroplane there and back comes
through.

Matt.

If the sponsorship doesn't come through I am sure that there would be quite
a few people around that would be willing to throw some money your way
(myself included) to get the Bommer down for Tyabb.

Matt, the web site is excellent. I have been following your progress since
Dennis Baker, ex of HdH Vic Historic Projects Group, told me about you
project, but I didn't realise just how big of a restoration it was until I
read Dick Hourigan's article in Flightpath.

Look forward to seeing you at Tyabb.

Chris

I'll be there anyway. I don't need sponsorship ;-)
