Wirraway touchdown

Nhill was a training ground for many pilots through WWII and they used these planes to train in. Borg Sorenson found bits and pieces all over the countryside, and piece by piece built it again.Over an 18 year period It was offered to our Community for $300.000.00 and could have been sold overseas for twice as much. Two years of fund raising,[ no government help], we did it. It will be housed in our museum, never to fly again [condition of purchase] though will be allowed to taxi on special occasions. One very happy day for our town.
