VH-AIY CAC CA6 Wackett Trainer
(c/n 265)
After the war MacRobertson Miller Airlines
founder Horrie Miller retired to the northern WA
pearling port of Broome and
used his Wackett VH-AIV for local flying. It was retired in 1964
but the above photo
shows Horrie obligingly starting up the Warner Super Scarab radial with
a puff of smoke for
visiting photographers Neil Follett and Peter
Limon. This is Peter's shot
(via Geoff Goodall).
The Wackett was later displayed inside a
small glass enclosure in down-
town Broome in
tribute to Horrie as seen in Geoff's own photo (below), taken in
October 1975.
Some years later it was saved
by the
Aviation Heritage Museum who now have it
displayed inside
their museum in Perth.
