Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation CA-12 Boomerang at the Barossa Airshow

During the 2013 Barossa Airshow crowds were fortunate to see and hear the CA-12 Boomerang flying. This aircraft (Registered VH-XBL) is only one of two still flying. The Bommerang is an Australian designed and built fighter that was produced between 1942 and 1945 as such it is a rare and important part of Australian aviation history.
