This episode covers my favourite Sabre: the Australian CAC Sabre, with its combination of Rolls Royce Avon and 30mm Aden cannons.
The video looks at Australia’s reasons for procuring the type at a time when others were looking at 2nd generation fighters. It then covers the development of the aircraft, squadron service and makes the case for the Avon being the best of all the day fighter Sabres as an air superiority fighter. I hope you enjoy this one…
…and for those of you watching on the 26th, I hope you have a good Australia Day!
