Description
The RAAF acquired twenty-four F-111C aircraft in the early 1970s, becoming the only non-US operator of the type.
The aircraft featured long-range strike capability, variable-geometry wings, after-burning turbofan engines and terrain-following radar for low-level penetration missions. Over its 37-year service life, the type retained a unique place in Australian aviation.
********* Historical Aviation Film Unit : Our Mission Statement *********
Our on-going mission is to discover, record and preserve the audiovisual history of the machines and owner/operators that we come across, for the benefit of future generations. We hunt out and film all manner of aircraft, military vehicles, vintage cars, trains, boats, big machinery, and basically anything and anyone that interests us, and we hope it interests you too, and that you'll be able to support us in our mission.
