Here is my source.....

Woody's Gallery :: RC Wirraway :: alclar6

I think your pic might be a Boomerang cockpit?

It is incorrect as it`s a Boomerang cockpit ,Graeme. You can see the different shaped windscreen,and also the cowl flaps are open,which the Wirraway didnt have.The Wirraway had 2 machine guns firing over the cowling,thru` the prop, the Boomers were all in the wings....

Fair enough gents. I and my caption stand (actually I'm sitting) corrected. A Boomerang it is.

Cheers.

Carry on Aviate.
