This page was last amended on 14 May, 2009.  

The serials of the majority of the Airvans produced by Gippsland Aeronautics are listed here. In most cases the aircrafts construction number is listed first followed by registration/military serial numbers and sometimes further details about that particular aircraft. Further information will be added as time permits.

To find the aircraft you are looking for, press the Ctrl & F keys. When the search box opens up, type in the registration/military serial you are after and click on "find next". Events which occured on an unknown date are listed with ? at the start of the entry. Some of these may have a date at the end of the entry which indicates a time which the entry was current. ie: ? The aircraft was acquired by Dion Makowski. 2004. This means that I do not have the date when Dion acquired the aircraft, but I do know that he owned it during 2004.
