Low res close cropped front view of RAN Firefly AS6 WD828 Cn F9656 (Code K271) on static display at the Canberra Aero Club Flying Display at Canberra YSCB in April 1983. This Korean War vintage aircraft (Del 12/50, and powered by a Rolls Royce Griffon engine) wears 'Invasion Stripes, as applied in the 1950s. Also, the name on the Nose-Art near the cockpit is 'Mickey's Mouse'. I last saw a Firefly flight demo at Oshkosh in August 2003, by ex-RAN Firefly WB518. Apologies for quality.
