The CAC CA-25 Winjeel (aboriginal for young eagle) entered service for the Royal Australian Air Force in 1955 as an ab-initio to advanced trainer aircraft. It was developed to satisy RAAF technical requirement No.AC.77 by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation at Fishermans Bend in Victoria. 62 aircraft were built and the first entered service with No. 1 Basic Flight Training School at Uranquiny (near Wagga-Wagga). The aircraft remained in service with the RAAF until 1977 before being removed from service, examples of the aircraft remain in flying condition in private hands as well as museums around the country.
