Now preserved at the Aviation Heritage Museum, Bullcreek, Western Australia. It was shipped from the UK to Australia in 1959 and initially displayed on a pole at the RAAF Association headquarters in Perth. It was later moved to Bullcreek, still mounted on poles, until replaced by a fibreglass replica in 1985. PK481 now displayed indoors. This photo shows it being cleaned up as part of its move from Perth to Bullcreek. This photo is copyright © Geoff Goodall, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
