Hi Matt and Cees,
Further to you comments, some of the drawings for the CAC CA-15 still exist. It would make a fantastic project. It was originaly to be powered by a P&W R2800, however CAC could not get one nad then changed to the Rolls Royce Griffin. There are photos of it at Point Cook after a forced landing in the RAAF Museum photographic colection.

: Hi Cees,
: Interesting to see your post on the CA-15. 'Converted to
: components' is the term that the RAAF frequently used whe
: n they sold off aircraft for scrap. As far as is known, th
: e CA-15 was scrapped, however I have been told a rumour th
: at one really substantial piece still remains. Additionall
: y, I have it on very good authority from another, very cre
: dible source, that some smaller bits do exist, and are in
: good care.
