A 1938 Armstrong Siddley Cheetah IX (445 HP) Aircraft Radial Engine, primarily used on training aeroplanes during World War Two, kindly on loan from the RAAFA Aviation Museum in Bull Creek, with the freight to and back donated by museum volunteers. The engine has a propeller attached, and it will be fired-up on several occasions throughout the day, along with some stories from war-time aviation enthusiasts. Although otms spectators are warned that the engine is loud and smelly, and blows a lot of air out the back, it is well worth a look. It will be appropriately barricaded-off between the stationery engines and the tractor machinery displays.
