    		Looks like I made a mess of this question, I didn't realise either of these two were still operational.

    The Royal Australian Air Force still uses the F-111 (C and G variants), due to be replaced along with the aging F/A18 by the JSF.

    I was born in the second half of the 19th century. In my early life I spent a short time as a writer, but events put an end to that. I enjoyed life as an artist, being an accomplished painter. Later I become involved in trade and worked on social reform to improve the prison system. I developed an interest in aviation and flew aircraft. I tried to get elected to parliment but was defeated.
