Who flew the Gooney Bird down Perth's Northern beaches this afternoon (14th Oct)??

I'd just about got to the Western edge of the Allan Park Oval above Swanbourne beach about 14:30 .. and lo and behold! .. I could hear that magnificent sound of a couple of big Twin Wasp radials, rumbling away!

Glanced up to my right .. just in time to see this Gooney Bird cruising down the beaches from the North, about 500-600', and maybe making 120kts?? .. watched it cruise down past Fremantle, and out of sight! .. Man! .. what a glorious sight! ..

Too far away to get the registration .. it was a plain aluminium colour, virtually no paint .. anyone know anything about it?? ..
