This aircraft is actually a composite made from the wings and tail booms of A79-827 and the fuselage pod of A79-616. It was restored at RAAF East Sale in the 1990s for the RAAF Museum. A79-616 was one of 68 Vampire T Mk 35s delivered from 1957 to enable the RAAF pilot's course to include jet training. The Vampire was phased out in 1969. This aircraft is painted in the markings of the 'Telstars' aerobatic team from the Central Flying School at East Sale.
