The items are in situ at a private residence. I photographed them about 5 years ago during an open day there. Components are gradually being restored but are so disassociated that photos are only feasible of certain elements all in very confined spaces - part of one wing being in external store at that time, the rest indoors. The items are in good hands and work is slow but very professional. I would estimate that further major components would be needed before even the material already present could be assembled into an externally recognisable single exhibit - it is far from a complete airframe. Restored components, u/c, cockpit, engine etc made interesting exhibits individually. The RAAF did well to release a lot of what's there, so never say never!
