This ex-Royal Australian Air Force Avon Sabre is one of only two still flying and whilst it is based on the American F-86 Sabre, it was built in Australia with numerous changes and upgrades resulting in not much more than the wings of the F-86 in common..
A Rolls-Royce Avon engine was fitted which meant that 60% of the fuselage required modification and the size of the air intake was increased by 25%.
This resulted in the Australian Avon Sabre being faster than the US F-86 ( 700mph vs 687mph ), with a greater rate of climb ( 12,000 feet per minute vs 9,000 feet per minute ) and a higher ceiling level ( 55,000 feet vs 49,600 feet )
Other modifications were made including changes to the cockpit and an increase in fuel capacity. Also, the Australian sabre could be started without an external power source.
The 6 x .50 machine guns of the F-86 were replaced with 2 x 30mm Aden Cannon. In the jet age it was rare for more than a couple of bullets to hit the enemy aircraft therefore it was decided that a couple of 30mm cannon strikes would generally do more damage that a couple of .50 machine gun bullets.
The Avon Sabre is arguably the best of the numerous Sabre variants built throughout the world.
Former RAAF Avon Sabres were donated to and used by both the Malaysian and Indonesian Air Forces. . . . . .Canon EF-S 18 -55mm f3.5 -5.6 IS
