Squadron's Jet-Age
Artwork by Drew Harrison
Shown

These lovely images have been created by Adelaide-based artist

Harrison. Drew
also created the impressive artworks of WW2 planes shown on our
"Boxing Day" page.
Top
Gun - The delightful CA-27 Avon-Sabre over the
Malaysian jungle.
In 1962, 3 SQN changed its markings to the very
attractive red tail with Southern Cross. However,
all bright 78 Wing markings (i.e.
3 and 77 Sqns at Butterworth) were removed in 1963 due to
the Confrontation with Indonesia. Also
the Butterworth squadrons had to support 79 Sqn in Ubon, Thailand, as well, so
it was easier for all aircraft to be devoid of specific
squadron markings.
Our
Super Supersonic - The delta-winged Mirage IIIO
Dawn
of a New Era – the state-of-the-art F/A-18 Hornet
Harbinger
of the Future – The stealthy and futuristic F-35 Joint Strike Fighter in a
possible “3 Squadron” scheme!
