At Number 9 in our countdown of the most iconic #AusAirForce aircraft is the one that helped start it all, the S.E.5A.
When the Royal Australian Air Force was formed on 31 March 1921, the S.E.5A was part of Britain’s imperial gift to help establish our new organisation.
As our first fighter aircraft, Australian aircrews flew the S.E.5A in combat during World War I before its transition into a crucial training platform during the 1920s.
Today only six original S.E.5As remain in the world. Have you been lucky enough to see one of these historic aircraft?
