This photocopy was donated by Lloyd, who flew Wirraway A20-10 several times during his career. Wirraway A20-10 is currently part of the Moorabbin Air Museum's collection. Lloyd flew A20-10 while training at Uranquinty, NSW, as part of No. 8 Pilots Course, in 1952. Later, Lloyd flew A20-10 while attached to Base Squadron, Point Cook, Victoria in 1955 and as a Flying Instructor at No. 1 AFTS and the RAAF College between 1956-1958.

Historical Details: The AARG aircraft was delivered in September 1939 as the 8th production Wirraway and numbered A20-10 ( A20-1 and A20-2 being the imported NA-16 aircraft), and was initially allocated to No. 22 General Purpose Squadron at Richmond in NSW, however 12 months. Description: The Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) was formed in 1936 to manufacture aircraft in Australia. The first General Manager of CAC was Lawrence Wackett whose innovative aircraft design was to be seen throughout his time at CAC. The Wirraway was the. Level of Importance: National

This collection appears to be the research of Keith Meggs, and contains a wealth of photographs and some short articles relating to the CAC Wirraway. Many photos have useful captions and it seems clear this was being edited to form a book.

Third edition. Owned by Graeme Alan Hunt, part of 14 Flight, 21 (City of Melbourne) Squadron, Citizen's Air Force, during the 1950s. This squadron operated CAC Wirraways and de Havilland Vampires, both of which Hunt flew. He enrolled into the Air Training Corps on 3 September 1950. The manual is stamped with "Technical Library, Base Squadron Laverton, Copy No 5" on the front cover.

This schematic was drawn by W. J. Watkins for the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation during February 1957. It shows the XP-77 experimental conversion of the Wirraway general-purpose military aircraft. This drawing appears to depict the early stages of the CAC's Ceres design, which later had limited success as an agricultural aircraft carrying out tasks such as crop spraying. As the prototype first flew in February 1958, this diagram represents part of the development process for that aircraft. It also demonstrates an important phase in the history of the CAC, where, after the Second World War, the company was innovating in an attempt to stay relevant after the rapid shrinking of the RAAF.
