Horsham? How many are in Oz? I’ve seen one in Tocumwal ages ago (2010ish).

Can't remember the name of the book but there is a contemporary account of flying in one of these through some rough weather in service of the RFDS, The conclusion was they were unsure if the engineers intended the wings to flap or be steady, they failed to achieve either.

There’s actually one listed for sale in NZ.
I wish I could afford to ship it here. Because it’s actually affordable on the purchase price.

I wish I could afford the price to keep it here. But as long as it goes somewhere it will be cherished and flown I’ll be happy.

Crazy more of these are airworthy than B-29s.
