Dogget is passionate about restoration, and has worked on several projects for the RAAF, including the restoration of A6M2 Zero, A-20 "Hell'N Pelican II" and Catalina at RAAF Amberley. He believes that aircraft should only be restored with
complete accuracy to their original condition. His attention to detail and dedication
was the driving force in the meticulous recovery and restoration
of six A-20's from Papua New Guinea, despite budgetary restraints
and often wavering commitment. Today, these restorations are three of the most impressive aircraft displayed in Australia.
