| Updated http://www.adf-serials.com.au/3a10.htm N15-709 that was at the Australian Aviation Museum at Bankstown has been broken up. The forward fuselage along with a two metre section of the centre fuselage containing the Electronic Warfare station went to the FAA Museum at Nowra I asked around and it seems that the nose of A10-604 has been scrapped The two sections of N15-709 at Nowra Photo Stuart Harwood |
