Reconnaissance and intelligence

Transport and utility:

Omitted from list: various short-term and experimental types, one-off models, civil types impressed into short-term emergency wartime service. Types marked RAN operated by the Royal Australian Navy Fleet Air Arm. Categorisation is arbitrary, and dependent on the primary practical use of the type, not its design use. For example, the F-4 Phantom, though designed as a fighter and used as such overseas, served in the RAAF only as a bomber and is listed accordingly.

RAAF Museum: Restorations (564 words)
For aircraft at the RAAF Museum, this process can be as simple as repainting the aircraft to a paint scheme representing a significant historical period, or a complete rebuild of an airframe to an 'as new' condition.
Some of the aircraft in the RAAF Museum Collection are not the pristine examples that you see on display within the Museum itself, but collections of parts and wreckage that have been salvaged by RAAF personnel and enthusiasts.
RAAF Museum Technical and Curatorial staff consult to decide on the final outcome of the project, including colour scheme for the aircraft, depicting the period the aircraft represents.
