The wreck, that looked so enigmatic in the Regent River as the daily tides lapped over the windscreen, was at last sight, just a pile of corroded junk in one of the hangers at RAAF Museum Point Cook (Not AWM). Sadly now stripped of most of the'interesting' items, it would have made a great 'Croc Dundee' diorama exhibit.
I understand that requests to release it to become an identity transfer project have fallen on deaf ears.
Very sad. They should have just left it there, perhaps with a bit of reinforcing, and plugged the adventure tourist bit.
