Hi Tony,
Thanks for the great link to the other Vengeance, I have never seen a photo of this particular aircraft before. There are roughly one and a half survivors in captivity, this one being the "1/2". I think that you will find that the "second" airframe in the picture is actually just the back end of the same aircraft. The glazed area on these aircraft was pretty substantial.

The other Vengeance survivor is very complete looking and is located at the Harold Thomas's Camden Aviation Museum in Narellan, Australia, serial EZ999. You can see it here at the following site.

On a slightly different topic, you might want to check out the following two links for dumped aircraft and wrecks in Oz....

Well, hope you enjoyed these, and thanks for all of your contributions Tony, you (and a few other regulars) have made this site a joy to watch, and participate in. Thanks also to Scott for providing the best Warbird resource site on the web I've found so far.

Cheers,
Richard
