Restoration of Pfalz, Albatros, SE5a, DH9, AVRO

Recommended Posts

Olham asked if I had any photos of the aircraft recently restored for the Australian War Memorial's "Over the Front" exhibit. Unfortunately, I haven't been down to see it yet (going in August) :blush2: SHAME! When most of you would kill to be able to go (and to get a special behind-the-scenes guided tour as well!).

 

But I did go and see them twice at the Treloar Centre, the Australian War Memorial's "large exhibit" restoration and storage centre. Once at the beginning of their restoration, another at the completion.

 

Here are some of the photos I took. Please keep in mind, I'm not a professional photographer, and only used a pocket digital camera, and also that the Treloar Centre is basically a warehouse and workshop, and not floodlit for display purposes, so the photos are dark (and probably out of focus).

 

I'll get some photos of the complete display when I next visit and post them here for your enjoyment.

The last pic is (I believe) the Albatros immediately after its capture

I want to go! All I have to do is figure out a way to get to Australia...Hmm...Oh wait I work for an airline - problem solved! I'll bring the beer if I can crash on your Kangaroo couch. :)

Steve, as a graphic designer I use Photoshop. So I worked out the pics you posted a little brighter.

Hope you don't mind.

Of course I don't mind! Thanks for that. Now everyone can see them properly. :clapping:

 

Now...if I can only wait till August.
