Firefly WB518 was mounted on the pole at Griffith around 1970. In 1991, following the 1987 crash of Firefly VH-HMW/WD828, it was removed from the pole so the centre section and forward fuselage could be used in the restoration of HMW. In return, parts from the crashed aircraft would be made suitable for static display and WB518 returned to the pole. HMW was sold in the US before the project as finished. The new owner decided the aircraft he had was WB518, not WD828, and the data on the FAA register for N518WB is for WB518. Both WB518s have major parts from the original aircraft.

Scrapped in 1957, the fuselage section is stored at the back of one of the display hangars along with a Balliol. It has since moved on, to a private individual in Newton Abbot, Devon.

WB518 stored in Griffith in a trucking yard ahead of being mounted on a pole in the main street. It was taken down from the pole in 1991 and forward fuselage and centre section used to repair VH-HMW/WD828 which had crashed. The damaged parts from -HMW were patched and fitted to the rest of WB518, which was then returned to the pole. Repairs on -HMW were done in the US and it became N518WB. The owner considers the aircraft to be WB518, not WD828.

This photo in the Netherlands national archives seems to have been commissioned by the Dutch navy for some reason, but appears to have been taken in Britain. VT413 was brand new at the given date and the groundcrew are in civilian clothes. It ended as a Firefly U9 target drone in Malta and was shot down by a Supermarine Scimitar in 1961.

This photo in the Netherlands national archives seems to have been commissioned by the Dutch navy for some reason, but appears to have been taken in Britain. VT413 was brand new at the given date and the groundcrew are in civilian clothes. It ended as a Firefly U9 target drone in Malta and was shot down by a Supermarine Scimitar in 1961.
