That's the only known Australian example of the breed. Possibly post-war
at Point Cook, waiting for "disposal"



According to www.adf-serials.com


"Ex RAF V7476. To be erected at 1AD 13/08/41. Erection completed 16/08/41.

08/02/46. Authorised for write off 13/05/46. Passed to DAP 21/12/49. On the
29/01/51 it was sold. Some reports have it as wrecked at Werribee, but the
aircraft was purchased by Mr Reg Dyke at Mirboo North and transported there.
It was wrecked and disposed of, we presume that means broken up and sold as
parts or scrap. Reg Dyke's family do not have any remaining parts of the
aircraft."
