Nice model of P2-RDE CAC Sabre.

This machine had quite a history; was an ex-TAA machine, then with Maslings and bounced off a hilltop at Cootamundra one rainy night. Extensive nosewheel and forward bulkhead damage, but was rebuilt and sold to Talair.

I flew it in the early 80's, but it was not my favourite Otter. All the ex-TAA machines were very heavy, due to being built with a complex F27-type electrical system.

Not sure where it ended up post Talair.
