OK, so for the benefit of future planning, here are the upcoming A/CAM club display themes for the next few Model Expos:
2021- No Display
2022- Angels of Mercy: Emergency Services Aircraft (Civil/Military).
2023- Trash Hauling: Tribute to Civil Freighter Aircraft.
2024- The Tri-jets.
2025- Corporate/Business Aviation.
2026- Government and Military Airliners


And I am now opening the floor for suggestions for 2027 and beyond.

How about recreational aircraft and light singles and twins?

Some good suggestions (except Phantoms.....remember what A/CAM stands for ;) ), but we need themes that can fill two tables with models.

Well, QANTAS or Ansett aircraft (and affiliates) would fill 2 tables :-)

True....but I actually think your "Light Singles and Twins" has real potential. I would like to explore that one further.
Who else would be up for a "Light Singles and Twins" display??

What does everyone think of "Airline Deregulation In Australia" as a potential display theme?
This would include all incumbent and new airlines, (including stat-ups that never got off the ground), since the dawn of airline deregulation in Australia.
If people are interested in this.....I can post a list of all airlines that would be eligible for inclusion in this display, (and its a long list).

The only problem I can see with this one is the distinct lack of kits or are civvie warbirds included?

That's a fair point, but I think there are enough out there for a credible display IF we had enough people willing to commit to it.
That being the case, I am willing to run with "Light Singles and Twins" as a 2027 display theme, if we can get enough contributors.
I would have no issue with light single and twin civvie warbirds if they were in a civvie scheme.
Pre WW2 Racers could also be included in this theme.
