Boomerang Canopy Donation & Restoration

On a recent trip to Melbourne, Richard Hourigan, a well known Boomerang collector and aviation historian, donated a CAC CA-12 Boomerang Canopy that will restored to flying condition and put to work on A46-73.

The canopy which is largely complete will require a complete disassembly, refurbishment and replacement of hardware and the replacement of the forward canopy bow.  The restoration process has already been started with the right-hand side having its paint-removed and stainless components polished.

The perspex canopy panels have already been purchased and are awaiting the completion of the canopy to be fitted.

Thank you again Richard for your kind donation!
