Wren MW54 Turboprop with PST gas producer |
|
Behotech 66 |
|
Sprite Prototype engine designed, made and acquired directly from John Wright, one of the original founders of Wren Turbines. He is the 'W' in the model names of Wren engines, eg, MW54. |
|
Simjet 85N Very little information available about this engine due to it being a very old type apart from it producing 85N of thrust and were built in Holland. Very similar design to the Jetcat P80. |

Relics of Lockheed SR-71 'Blackbird', No.61-7970 'Super Skater'
|
This aircraft was lost on 17 June 1970 following a post-re-fuelling collision with a KC135 tanker. Lt.Col. Buddy L. Brown and his RSO Maj. Mortimer J.Jarvis both ejected and survived the crash. The KC-135 returned to Beale AFB, California while the SR-71 (61-7970) “Super Skater” crashed in the western Texas desert on non-federally owned land. These are authentic pieces from SR-71 (61-7970) recovered from the crash site. |
On the left half of this photo are fuselage pieces with the bottom piece showing the original black paint which was a stealth coating who's ingredients are classified to this day.
On the right half of this photo, relics can be seen from the SR-71's huge Pratt & Whitney J58 engines. They are believed to be the most powerful turbojet engines ever made. The top relic shows large compressor blade roots still inserted in a part of a compressor disk while below is a remnant of a turbine blade with it's aerofoil shape clearly visible.

P68 Partenavia
This Italian made Partenavia P68, serial number 99, was imported into Australia in 1977. Below left - VH-ABX parked at Moorabbin Airport, Victoria, Australia. Below right - VH-ABX parked at Alice Springs Airport, Northern Territory, Australia.
|
|
At the end of it's service life, VH-ABX was was gradually picked apart for parts and after more than 10 years of standing out in the weather, it was eventually destined fro the scrap metal yard.
|
|
|
After speaking with the owner of the aircraft and helicopter business, Michael from The Helicopter Group, he most generously donated VH-ABX so that it could be restored and used mainly to share with school students and inspire them to pursue STEM and even a career in aviation and aerospace. Below are photos of the finished artefact and how VH-ABX lives on.
