EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic Bristol Type 28 Tourer, registered as VH-UDC, at Barry Hempel's flying school in Richmond, New South Wales, Australia, in 1985. The Bristol Type 28 Tourer, with manufacturing serial number 6119 and formerly known as G-AUDK, is a remarkable conversion of a surplus F.2b Fighter. This aircraft, along with Seely and Puma trainers, were all repurposed from spare airframes, contributing to the rich history of aviation in Australia. The F.2b Fighter, a British single-engine, two-seat, day fighter aircraft, was first introduced during World War II. Its impressive performance and versatility made it an excellent candidate for post-war conversion projects. The transformation into the Type 28 Tourer resulted in a stylish and efficient aircraft, ideal for training purposes. Barry Hempel's flying school played a significant role in the preservation and utilization of these historical aircraft. The school provided an opportunity for aspiring pilots to learn the fundamentals of flying in authentic and unique aircraft, while also maintaining the legacy of these aviation icons. The year 1985 marked an exciting time for aviation enthusiasts as they witnessed the continued use of these classic aircraft in training, keeping the spirit of flight and innovation alive. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of vintage aircraft and the passion of those who preserve and fly them.
