Two classic former Australian defence warbirds - a RAN submarine hunting Grumman Tracker and a RAAF transport de Haviland Caribou - will take centre stage at HARS Aviation Museum this weekend. This will take place as part of the January Tarmac Days, which aim to give the museum volunteers an opportunity to operate some of the almost 50 classics of Australian aviation on display across hangars at the Shellharbour Airport facility. On Saturday, one of the two DHC-4 Caribou at HARS Aviation Museum is scheduled to fly, while the newly-restored Tracker will conduct engine runs.
