My father in law was a liberator pilot and was shot down in one. Took him six months to get out, with the help of the Polish partisans. Nice video, enjoyed seeing one apart up-close and personal, so to speak. He passed a few months ago. Not many of those folks left anymore.

i believe this would be a RAAF Liberator Mk.III. (U.S. B-24J )..lend lease ..used to hunt Japanese subs.
RAF and the Commonwealth used quite a few Liberators....big question is will this one be airworthy?

@Marauder0090 further, I spoke to a restorer yesterday and the aircraft will be restored to airworthy standards but will not fly due to the insurance and other costs.

Thank you for the reply, there a few Libs left that are like that, my hats off to them for going the distance!, maybe they'll wheel it out and fire up the P&W's,(great sound from those) Ive flown in the Collings Foundations Lib and it's worth it, a real experience. very graceful aircraft when flying...one day i may post that video.
they did a pass charging the runway at 50ft at full throttle followed by thier B-17 incredible!

A fantastic job the crew at werribee are doing. Would be great to get an update with maybe some official commentary as to where they are at. Great vid.

My wife's grandfather was Frank W. Fink, often called the father of the Liberator.

Why was he called that? Did he design it?

This aircraft is being restored in Werribee, Victoria (Australia). They have a website which can be found by googling 'Werribee Liberator'

My late father served as Technical Inspector for the 464th BG, 55th BW, 15th Air Force in Pantanella Italy from 1944-45. He never talked much about his experiences and getting to see a Liberator up close made me more appreciative for what he and thousands like him did for this country.
Where is this Lib and the facility located?
Thanks for sharing.
