Omitted from list: various short-term and experimental
types, one-off models, civil types impressed into
short-term emergency wartime service. Types marked RAN
operated by the Royal Australian Navy Fleet Air Arm.
Categorisation is arbitrary, and dependent on the primary
practical use of the type, not its design use. For
example, the F-4 Phantom, though designed as a fighter
and used as such overseas, served in the RAAF only as a
bomber and is listed accordingly.
