The Duigan Centenary of Flight - 2010
The first Australian made aeroplane to fly; the Duigan Aeroplane, was designed and constructed by John Robertson Duigan with the assistance of his younger brother, Reginald Charles Duigan. After many trials, the first flight was achieved by John on 16th July, 1910 on their parents property Spring Plains, in central Victoria, Australia. To celebrate this historic event, a replica was constructed and was on view for Centenary celebrations in Mia Mia between the 16th and 18th July 2010. The Duigan Replica will be on display at the next Air Show at Avalon in the first week of March, 2011.
Donations are necessary to complete the construction of this replica.
