This is the former RAAF A10-603, which was withdrawn from use 30 Jun 2004. On 16 Feb 2005 it departed Australia for Southend, UK and arrived there on 20 Feb 2005. Stored at Southend until sold to the adjoining Skylark Hotel in Jul 2010. Lifted onto their site on 19 Jul 2010, together with sistership VH-AHL (ex RAAF A10-606). By 2017 both aircraft were in a very neglected state and partly overgrown, but both were still there by Feb 2021. Apologies for the poor view and the obtrusive wing, but no better angle was possible.
