Vampire A79-661 at Pima Air and Space Museum has just undergone a refurbishment.

Amongst the issues rectified was the replacement of the incorrect 57 nose number with the correct 61 (information from a specialist ADF aircraft website helping in this matter ;)

It has been moved inside and it is mounted centre stage amongst some distinguished company, quite an honour for an Aussie built aircraft.

Well Done Martin,

It's great to correct the record and very pleasing to see it reflected on the airframe itself.

Cheers

BC

Here she is wearing the wrong number before Martin's correspondence lead to the folks at Pima correcting the situation:

Here is a photo of A79-661 just about ready to depart from the old Hawker de Havilland (Boeing Aerostructures Australia), Bankstown, on 15th March, 2008, heading down to HARS.
