A3-41 suffered an engine bay fire in April 1976 and landed safely at Nowra naval air station (YSNW). It was rebuilt with parts from A3-8 as an instructional airframe at RAAF Forest Hill (Wagga Wagga). Later became a gate guardian at the main entrance of the base. The canopy has been treated to prevent sun damage to the cockpit interior. This photo is copyright © David Carter, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
