VH-SFF suffered a double engine failure on approach to Richmond air force base on November 19, 1996. It is suspected the master ignition switch was inadvertently bumped off. The aircraft was trucked to the RAAF Museum at Point Cook for restoration to a static exhibit. The museum had acquired the aircraft from the US in a swap for an airworthy Canberra (A84-229).

In March 2006 when I last visited Chandler Memorial there was a mechanic who was working on this aircraft to get it airworthy for a ferry flight to a new owner in Idaho. He told me the airplane was in very poor condition he doubted it could be made airworthy for a reasonable cost. Apparently he was right because no further progress has been made on restoration since my visit over a year ago.
