Morning Don.
Those Kooka's were GRZ and GRK. The Logbook had a little side view with a
dotted line through it showing where the join was made. GRZ was bought by Caleb
and Dave at Bacchus Marsh who returned it to service. It is now in SA with
Cathy Conway.

Hi all,
Many moons ago my dad had two wrecked Kookaburras in Perth. One had a damaged
tail and one had a smashed nose. He joined the good nose with the good tail and
made one good Kooka out of it.
If anyone wants any more info regarding callsigns etc I could ask dad - not
sure whether he'd remember though. I do have a couple of pics around somewhere.
Regards
Don Woodward

Hi Chris,
As the list of "missing Kookaburras gets shorter, Geoff and I are now down to
only 5 unknowns, not bad out of 34 built, we think we are getting closer to the
one with Emilis. His is a Mk 4 and came to him from I can't remember his name
who reportedly got it from WA.
Our records show that GRP s/n 49 was in WA and was crashed while in service
with the Liechart SC. It is the only one we can't account for in WA, so
although reluctant to say definitively it is the one,there is only one other Mk
4 we don't know of (GQF) and it was last known to be in NSW.
Stay dry,
Patch

Hi JR,
No the Darwin Kooka is GPE I think. It is a Mk 4, originally GCV, rebuilt by
Ray Ash then owned by Ray Budd and partners. As you remember the thing looks
pretty bad.
Catch ya soon

I think GLG is the darwin kooka, but might be wrong, if it is , it is a very
big task to get it back in the air.
