The de Havilland Caribou A4-228 was acquired by AAHC Qld via a tender process from the Commonwealth Government in 2016 and was dismantled by AAHCQ volunteers and transported from Oakey to Caboolture Qld in July 2016.

​

Caribou A4-228 is a very historic aircraft in its own right, being delivered to the RAAF in June 1965. The “Bou” served in PNG 38 Sqn Det "A" 1973 and was involved in various incidents and flew trials on 02/07/73 to determine single engine absolute ceiling performance for the type in the PNG area.

​

A4-228 was often utilized as an airshow demonstration aircraft on its return to Australia. The Caribou has been largely restored and is currently on static display in a secure area. AAHC Qld is currently sourcing a small number of parts to complete her restoration.
