The Sport Aircraft Builders Club of WA Inc (SABC) hosted its Annual Fly-In at the SABC’s airfield at Serpentine Airfield, about an hour’s drive south of Perth, Western Australia.
While not an air display, a number of pilots flew solo or in formation. Many aircraft participating were built or restored at Serpentine, but the event also attracts visiting aircraft from other parts of Western Australia. This event is an opportunity for aircraft owners to show the results of their many hours of effort in building or restoring aircraft.
Sport Aircraft Builders Club of WA Inc (SABC)
The SABC was established in 1973 by a small group of members of the Sport Aircraft Association of Australia (SAAA). They leased land in Serpentine and formed the SABC to own and operate an airfield. Club members and their families cleared the scrub and over the years built two runways (a 910 metre bitumen runway with lights and a 600 metre grass runway), taxiways, hangars, a Clubhouse, and other facilities. SABC now has 300 members and over 130 aircraft at Serpentine, in more than 100 hangars.

10-0174 Skycraft Scout (Wheeler Sea Scout) (MSN 626), owned by Chris Perryer, at Sport Aircraft Builders Club (SABC) Annual Fly-In, Serpentine Airfield – 25 October 2020.
The world’s first commercially produced ultra light, using a rigid wing. Sydney-based boat builder named Ron Wheeler had previously built catamaran yachts and a hang glider, and gained knowledge of aerodynamics from books at the library. He designed and built the aircraft in his spare time.
The Wheeler Scout first flew in July 1972 and was put into production as the Skycraft Scout. Using sources referenced from the library at Sydney Technical College and Hurstville local Library he built up a working knowledge of aerodynamics.
It used an aluminium yacht mast as the wing spar, with Dacron sailcloth for the wing covering, lanyards and battens. It only had a rudder and elevator controls.
The Scout was the first ultralight aircraft to be covered by airworthiness regulations in the world, under Air Navigation Order(ANO)95.10 issued by the Australian Department of Transport, which launched the ultralight aircraft industry in Australia.

Graham Hewitt constructed this aircraft himself when he was nearly 80 years old, and first flew it as VH-XHE on 27 August 2012, the day before his 84th birthday. Graham previously flew DC-3s and Fokker F-27s for MacRobertson Miller Airlines (MMA), DC-6s for Swissair and many other types, including a Gloster Meteor for Ferranti Ltd. He sadly passed away in December 2014.
The aircraft was sold to Alain Belen and re-registered 19-1700 on 22 June 2020.

This aircraft was built in the UK in 1937 and has been registered as SE-AGE its entire life. It was delivered to Norrkoping, Sweden on 7 Sept 1937 and registered to Norrköping Automobile and Flying Club. On 12 Feb 1942, it was damaged in an accident at Lake Storuman during target towing for air defence. It passed through a number of owners until its airworthiness lapsed in October 1962. It was eventually restored and rolled out at Norrkoping on 20 May 1995, registered to Föreningen Veteranflyg, Linköping. Bert Filippi later acquired the aircraft, but kept it stored in Sweden until recently.

In the 1960s, Australia’s Victa (famous for its lawn mowers) produced the Victa Airtourer, and Victa Aircruiser. Due to lack of Australian Government support, Victa had to sell the manufacturing rights to AESL (later NZAI) in New Zealand, who developed the CT/4 Airtrainer in 1972. Ironically, in 1975, the RAAF ordered 51 CT/4A aircraft from NZAI as primary trainer aircraft. This particular example was delivered to the RAAF on 4 June 1975, using ferry registration ZK-EAA. It was allocated RAAF serial A19-038. Following RAAF service, it was sold on 21 June 1993 and registered VH-DPV. It has retained its RAAF “Fanta can” paint scheme, which also led to the type being nicknamed the “Plastic Parrot”.

In Swedish Air Force markings, though it never served with them. The Finnish Air Force purchased 30 Fw-44 Stieglitzes from Germany on 12 Apr 1940, manufactured by Ceskomoravskaya-Kolben-Danek (CKD) in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Ten of the aircraft were originally ordered by Norway, but after Germany invaded Norway in 1940, the aircraft were sold to Finland, being delivered from Warnemünde, Germany, in three batches of 10 aircraft on 25 May, 7 and 15 August 1940. The Finnish Air Force ordered another 10 Stieglitzes from Germany on 7 March 1944, but only 5 were delivered.
This example was built in 1939 by CKD and given German export registration D-EXWQ. It was meant to be delivered to the Royal Norwegian Army as AF11, but was delivered to the Finnish Air Force in 1940, with serial number SZ-11. On 4 July 1960 it was registered OH-SZB to Lahden IK ry Lahti. From 26 July 1961, it was owned by the Finnish Aviation Association in Helsinki. On 6 March 1964, the aircraft was scrapped but re-built and registered to Jan Gube, Helsinki, as OH-SZG on 17 October 1983. On 30 August 1995 it was sold to Svedinos Bil-och Flygmuseum, Ugglarp, Sweden, and on 19 January 1996 it was transferred to the Swedish register as SE-BEW. On 28 Aug 2002, it was registered VH-FBU to Bert Filippi.

This Yakovlev Yak-18 trainer was built in 1954 at Kharkov, Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union) and was gifted to the Chinese Air Force (PLAAF) by the Soviets. It was partly disassembled for transport and then reassembled at Nanchang in China, however it was not manufactured by Nanchang. After negotiations, Nanchang later assembled 324 of them under licence between 1954 and 1958 as the “Nanchang CJ-5” for use by the PLAAF, PLANAF and civilian flying clubs. This one is painted in Soviet Union DOSAAF markings. DOSAAF (Russian: ДОСААФ), (in English stands for: Volunteer Society for Cooperation with the Army, Aviation, and Navy) was a paramilitary sport organisation in the Soviet Union, concerned mainly with weapons, automobiles and aviation.

Built in 1998, this aircraft was originally operated by the Royal Queensland Aero Club, one of two Eagle 150s at Serpentine today – the other was VH-VLN.
The Eagle X-TS was conceived by Western Australian inventors Neil Graham and his father Deryck Graham. Graham Swannell and John Roncz were then engaged to design the aircraft. The single-seat prototype Eagle X-P1 was a taildragger based on the Rutan Quickie and first flown in 1984. The Eagle X-TS (Two Seat) had tricycle gear and first flew in 1988, and this was later produced and marketed as the Eagle 150.
Eagle Aircraft entered liquidation in 1989, and development slowed, so the aircraft was not certified until 1993. Eagle Aircraft was then purchased by a Malaysian company and production was moved from Fremantle to Malaysia in 1999, where the type was produced by Composites Technology Research Malaysia (CTRM).

The Viking Dragonfly is an American amateur-built aircraft, designed by Bob Walters and produced by Viking Aircraft LLC of Elkhorn, Wisconsin, which first flew in 1980. Although similar in design to the Rutan Aircraft Factory (RAF) Quickie 2, both were developed independently, but the Dragonfly has larger airfoils and a smaller engine, resulting in a slower but more docile handling aircraft.
Built in 1994, ex VH-XAZ.
