CAC CA-27 Sabre Walkaround Gallery

CAC CA-27 Sabre A94-989 RAAF ANAM 2008

Here's a CA-27 Sabre walkaround of the Avon-powered Sabre down at Moorabbin Air Museum. This bird appears to be an amalgamation of several airframes, so I don't think all of it is actually A94-989, but some of it probably is. It is a strange mix of parts, too. The wing is the wet 3-6 F-86F wing of the Mk 32, but the gun ports are the original type that were changed very early on. I have seen photos of this early gun port on the prototype aircraft, A94-101, but not on any others. A94-101 stil has its, so I don't know where these have come from! It is also missing ailerons and dive brakes. These are being stored under shelter to prevent wind damage.
