Photo Comment

Acquired by a Monak orchardist in 1954 and used as playground equipment. Recovered in 1967 by the now closed Warbirds Aviation Museum at nearby Mildura. It has been under restoration at the RAAF Museum, Point Cook, since 1987. Years of weather exposure played havoc with the wooden airframe.
