History of Bunny II
"Bunny II" is an aircraft which was built by members
of 161 (Indep) Recce Flt from "bits and pieces". The project started
in August 1970 and was completed on 9 May 1971 when the aircraft was test flown
by Charlie Brewster. The original fuselage and "bits and pieces" which
became Bunny II was recovered from a graveyard at Vung Tau by Charlie Miller.
The aircraft was shipped to Australia in 1971 and trucked to the Army Aviation
Base at Oakey, Queensland. The aircraft has been flown on a number of occasions
but it is now on static display at the Museum of Australian Army Flying at
Oakey.
