A formation flight with No 1 Squadron F/A-18F Super Hornets and a Bristol F.2B Fighter, the aircraft flown by 1SQN of the Australian Flying Corps in World War 1, commemorates the Squadron's Centenary and marks its first operational sorties on 12 June 1916. The Bristol F.2B Fighter was provided by TAVAS, the WWI vintage aircraft society, and flown by Jack McDonald. The Bristol was painted in WWI-era 1SQN colours and had the tail number B1229, which was flown by Ross McPherson Smith, who achieved 10 of his 11 victories in the original B1229. The Bristol F.2B Fighter is part of the TAVAS fleet, which has the only collection of flying WWI-type aircraft in Australia (www.tavas.com.au). The aircraft was flown by 86-year-old ex-77SQN FCI Jack McDonald. (ADF photos by David White)
