QUOTE

"...The intent is to restore the aircraft to a non-flying status in three stages over the next ten years or so. Stage 1 will be the tail section. Stage 2 will be the fuselage, probably utilising components of A79-660. One possibility will be to also have a Goblin engine mounted on a custom trailer for exhibition. The final stage will be the wings, at which time everything will be bolted together to give a complete aircraft for home display or perhaps loan to a museum...." https://www.faaaa.asn.au/vampire-rebuild/
