RAAF 100 squadron cut backs
RAAF 100 squadron was originally formed in 1942 flying Beauforts but was disbanded in 1946. It was reformed in 2021 as a heritage squadron operating around 20 warbirds. However it has just been announced that 8 of these will be withdrawn from flying and placed on static display. The aircraft are Meteor, Dragonfly, Vampire, CT4a, RE8, Canberra, Ryan STM-S2 and Sabre. We were lucky enough to see several of these display at Temora in 2018, although the Canberra was still under restoration at the time, so it is sad to hear that they will fly no more. I assume that finance plays a big part in this decision.
