asw28-866: I always wanted to have a ride in a T-28, ever since I sprung one for my Dad on his B-Day many years ago. Cant say that Ive ever seen him jump up and punch the air like he did when that flight was over and he was grinning ear to ear for the rest of the week!
It was in the orange and white VT27 as seen below.
Heres the a different angle of your T-28 taken at the Brisbane Air show back in 2003. (Cough cough!)
Sorry to report that its not the Dart Kitten, however these two types did first take to the air around the same time.
Good Luck!

clutching at very long straw...Parnall Pixie?
VH-SHT (VT27) has been out of the air for over a year now, we still operate ours out of Archerfield along with a couple of YAK-52s (my usual office). Will have an L-39 up and running in the near future

asw28-866: Nice! PM me when it's going to fly. I will come and have a look.
If the Warana air race is ever revived,then thats a winner!
Mel: Yes. I did find a photo of a radial or rotary<?> engined one, plus also one with a more rounded front screen.
The Mauboussin Corsaire! Seems about 60 were made starting from 1937.
Must brush up on my French as I could not find much English info about this type.
Once again, control is yours.

Sorry asw28-866, but evansb has beaten you to it. It is the Mitsubishi Ki-83.
You have control Bri.
You have control Bri.

As you say Bri, the Ki-83 was an interesting aircraft. As is this one; however, not wishing to spoil it for others I will say no more other than it being another Rotary type.

Ooh interesting additional control pole for the RHS, also the conventional controls seem to be out of sync. I did think maybe an Osprey variant, however I am tending towards an technology demonstrator, maybe from Bell?

Keen eye Kitbag, but sorry , it is not the joint United States Army-Marine VS-22 Osprey, nor is it a Bell Company design. It is, however, a test-vehicle, as your eagle-eye was able to determine.
