Wagga resident Ron Fisher arranged for two planes, a Wirraway and Winjeel, used out at the Uranquinty Royal Air Force Base to be brought to town.

"I joined the RAAF Pilots Course at age 21 and got my Wings at age 22, and was posted to the Number One Bomber Squadron in Malaya as a co-pilot on Lincoln Bombers," he said.

"I had two near death flying incidents in Malaya and flew 50 bombing missions in 12 months, and then came back to East Sale.

"I had a total engine failure on my fourth take-off in a Mustang, and was within about one-inch from death due to my head hitting the gunsight as I hit the ground with the wheels up."

Mr Fisher said this resulted in post-traumatic disorder. After leaving the Air Force he flew with Qantas as a second officer.

The planes he had sourced arrived in Wagga on Monday.

"The Wirraway and Winjeel were both designed and built in Australia and were mainly used for training of pilots, a lot of trainees died due to a couple of bad design features," he said.

"These two planes were used in World War Two and for about 17 years in total.

"About 50 per cent of all RAAF pilots have trained in one of them at Uranquinty."

Mr Fisher said he hopes when assembled they will complement the existing Memorial features in Wirraway Park, in Uranquinty.

"Thousands of pilots went through Uranquinty RAAF training," he said.

"Other RAAF aircraft should be added, and eventually placed in a hangar such as the one which exists at Lake Boga.

"I've already written to the Local Federal Member, and asked him to get one of the Roulette Aircrafts, as they become available this year, to be a guaranteed allocation to the Uranquinty Memorial Museum."

Mr Fisher said the project is a not for profit organisation and is calling for all volunteers who are interested in covering minor costs and maintenance to raise their hand if interested.

"I basically took this project on as my career in the RAAF, was virtually exactly the same as all those pilots who died whilst training, and on operations," he said.

"They gave all they had, and this is just my personal way of making sure to honour them all of them.

"So I finally decided to buy these two planes.

"I flew in a Wirraway for the first time on Remembrance Day in 1954, at Uranquinty.

"So it seems the most appropriate place, in my opinion, to place them."
