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 satisfy RAAF technical requirement No. AC.77 by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation at Fishermans Bend in Victoria. A total of 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.
