Unfortunately the event was severely weather affected, not only did it rain on the parade but just about all the historic aircraft that had planned to attend couldn't make it. Apparently there was a group of warbirds sitting on the ramp at Temora waiting for the weather to clear to make the trip. Sadly it didn't happen. A lone Wirraway from nearby Maitland was the only warbird attendee.
From a 'special markings' perspective, this centennial year has also been rather disappointing really. A nose art from 2SQN seems to be all there is? (and even that was supposed to be a tail marking originally). 3SQN did at least have a go with their now infamous Desert Camo, but that effort appears to have 'crashed and burned' sadly.
