See photo ID: 35552 for a shot of it after arrival in Australia and subsequent fate. This was a bitterly cold day and streaks made by light snow can be seen against the black hangar. (By this time I had a car so no more freezing while waiting at bus stops and railway stations. Also I had time on the same day to visit London/Gatwick plus Leavesden and Elstree aerodromes to see other air race participants.)
