Winnie - 1941 Boeing Stearman Biplane
Australia / Bunbury, Western Australia
Location ID: #10311756
This unique aviation location is centred around a beautifully restored 1941 Boeing Stearman biplane, affectionately known as Winnie. Based in Bunbury, Western Australia, the aircraft is a fully operational vintage open-cockpit aircraft with authentic period features, making it ideal for film, television, documentary, tourism, advertising, and promotional productions.
The aircraft offers strong visual appeal both on the ground and in flight, featuring classic military-era styling, radial engine, tandem open cockpits, period markings, and authentic aviation character. Winnie is capable of static display, taxiing, engine-running sequences, and flight operations subject to approvals, weather, pilot availability, and operational requirements.
Winnie herself is housed in a private hangar at Bunbury Airport. The hangar can be made available for filming and photography and provides an authentic working aviation environment with aircraft maintenance, restoration, and operational elements suitable for aviation-themed productions.
The location offers easy access, ample parking, aircraft movement areas, grassed runways, hangar facilities, and surrounding airport infrastructure. Whether filming a period piece, aviation documentary, commercial campaign, or tourism promotion, Winnie provides a rare opportunity to feature a genuine flying warbird-style aircraft within an authentic aviation setting.
For passenger operations, we operate from the Bunbury Aero Club, which provides an authentic aviation setting complete with runway views, viewing deck, grassed areas, and airport atmosphere. This location may also be suitable for filming and photography where a functioning regional aviation environment is required.
