- Summary:
- The Museum has the unskinned front fuselage section of an unidentified GAF-built Nomad. The fuselage section is of conventional semi-monocoque construction with frames and stringers of aluminium alloy 2024 painted in a primer-coat. The fuselage section was obtained by the Museum from GAF in 1982 as Nomad production wound down. It was described as a "scrap" section by GAF and is apparently an un-used production spare. The Museum acquired the fuselage as an example of modern metal aircraft structure.
- Description:
- Metal plate and rivet construction aeroplane fuselage painted lime green chromate undercoat. On several panels are penned in ink possible serial numbers.
- Acquisition Information:
- Donation from Australia: Supply Department, Government Aircraft Factories (GAF), 1982

Can you confirm that this exhibit is in Melbourne or in Australia's Museum of Flight in Nowra, thank you.
The Nomad fuselage is now located in Melbourne at our main store.
This incomplete front fuselage is likley to be F\F ser. No. 171. which would have been in the assembly jig at the time of Government project Nomad cancellation.
