This Firefly was delivered to the Royal Navy on 30 June 1950. A couple of years later it was refurbished by Fairey for delivery by sea to the Royal Australian Navy, arriving in Australia in March 1953. In 1961 it was converted to a TT.6 by Brain & Brown at Avalon. After operational use the aircraft was allotted to the Naval Aviation Museum, Nowra where it was eventually restored to airworthy condition, being civil registered as VH-NVU(1) on 30 September 1986. Engine trouble resulted in a short life and the civil registration was cancelled on 31 January 2020.

This Firefly is the former Royal Australian Navy Mk.VI WH632. The RAN disposed of the fighter in 1960 and it was then stored. After six years, WH632 was sold to the Camden Aviation Museum, Camden (NSW). In 1978 it was acquired by Canadian Warplane Heritage, who restored it to airworthy condition at Victoria (BC). It unfortunately crashed on delivery to Hamilton on 6 May 1992 and didn't fly again for three years. Grounded in 2013, it was only returned to flight a few weeks prior to this shot, taken just after a local flight.

Ex Strathallan, intended for restoration to fly but sold to the USA in 1984, and registered as N833WD in 1989. Parts of the airframe are believed to have been used in the restoration of WB518 (N518WB/201-K). The remains are currently in Nevada, and may yet be rebuilt to flying condition.

WB518 was with the Royal Australian Navy from 1950 - 1965 after which it was stored at Bankstown, NSW, later placed with the Services League, Griffith, NSW where it was displayed on a pole during 1967 - 1991. A restoration was begun using parts from another aircraft, but the project was sold to the USA partially completed. First flying again in 2002, the aircraft colors represent WB377 which was loaned to 817 Squadron aboard HMAS Sydney by the Royal Navy for duty in Korea. A landing accident in 2012 put the warbird out of action until another rebuild was completed in 2019.
