The first Australian Vampire, which first flew in 1949, was a gate guard at Williamtown for many years since the late 1960s. Now it is preserved inside the Fighterworld museum.

This was the first jet aircraft built in Australia and received by the RAAF in 1949. It was on strength until 1957. It was stored at many locations during the following years until put on display outside the Fighter World at the Williamtown Air Force Base.
