Interior of the CAC factory at Fishermans Bend, showing the right hand side fuselage panels from the cockpit area of CA-18 Mustangs being prefitted with electrics and other controls and systems before being assmbled as an aeroplane. This open access speeds up the production process rather than doing it in cramped conditions inside the assembled fuselage. Also shows workspaces and CAC toolkit no.155 on the ground .
