I am advised that the last survivor was scrapped some 20 years ago. This is the one you see in Darbys Book. I have read though that the Gibbs had a plantation where he kept the corrugated rollers for making skins for the aircraft.

This probably still survives. Alas poor Tante Ju with Wirraway engines and props is no more.
