200,000 expected as airshow salutes the Anzac centenary


Panzer tanks, light horsemen, vintage warbirds and the latest military hardware will combine in a pyrotechnic extravaganza to celebrate the Anzac centenary and Australia’s aviation heroes in the Australian International Airshow at Victoria’s Avalon Airport next week.
