It was parked for many years on the side of the Albany Highway just out of Armadale, WA, painted bright yellow and used as an advertising sign for local soft drink manufacturer 'Weaver and Lock'. This beast has also faded away, however, it could be with the RAAFA Museum at Bull Creek in one of their storage sheds. The mystery is solved! From Rob Hart; "I bought the remainder of this aircraft around 1993 from a small holder in the north of Perth. Lot consisted of both wings (port missing the wingtip), booms, front part of the fuselage and numerous miscellaneous small pieces. Was still painted bright yellow, with Weaver and Lock insignia. I stored it at the WA Museum of Aviation compound at Jandakot Airport before moving it to my own premises just south of the airport. After detailed inspection revealed an uneconomic repair even to static deisplay, the airframe was scrapped in 1996. I have retained the the starboard wingtip as a coffee table." |

| N6-837 | 4105 | T.34 T34A | Delivered 1954. Originally A79-837. Coded 927, 956 or 960 between 1954-58. Coded 805 between 1963-68. Noted in Navy service still wearing A79-837. Crashed 11/10/67 Laverton Vic. Killed were the Pilot Sub Lt Lynch and passenger. Noel Fenton adds "Crashed at Laverton in October 1967. The cause of the crash was the failure of the engine main thrust bearing at a critical time during takeoff. The aircraft continued beyond the runway end into the over-run. Unfortunately, it hit the railway embankment which demolished the nose of the aircraft and caused damage to one of the two full drop tanks. Burning fuel sprayed over the two crew and they died from major burns. The non-pilot (a Pilot Officer just graduated from Melbourne University) was an Engineering Officer attached to ARDU and had been posted to Point Cook for his Pilots Course a day or so earlier." Grahame Higgs purchased a superseded ejection seat from the aircraft, which had been replaced just prior to the accident. |
| N6-838 | 4106 | T.34 T34A | Delivered 1954. Purchased for £45,000. Originally A79-838, but could have continued to wear this ID. Coded 957 between 1954-58. Coded 871 and 874 between 1958-60. Coded 806 between 1963-68. Crashed 15/05/69, Nowra NSW. LCDR(P)Fred Goodfellow, RAN-the AEO(Air Engineering Officer) of 724 Sqdn crashed into bushland just to the west (off the runoff area) of Runway 26 at RANAS Nowra. He was attempting to land before an advancing thunderstorm from the west hit the airfield. The tricky wind conditions at the time most likely caused him to overshoot into the advancing roll cloud of the storm, where wind shear drove the climbing Vampire into the ground.The ejection seat fired partially on impact at a stalling airspeed, driving Fred into the front windscreen, causing severe paralysing injuries to him.The aircraft was a total wreck. Sold for scrap for either $70 or $100 - we have two sources of info on this, to P McElvogue of Airport West, Vic on 25/01/72. |
| N6-839 | 4107 | T.33 | Delivered 1954. Originally A79-839. Codes used not known. Crashed 06/08/56 at Nowra. The elevator had become jammed immediately after take off. The pilot's last call was that he had found the fault. In the Vampire Trainer the control for the elevator was via a chain. The dingy pack clip had dropped out and jammed the control. This effectively prevented him from bailing out. He speared in about a mile from the end of Runway 26. A dinghy knife was found in the wreckage with crush marks matching an elevator bell crank. The pilot LCDR P Dunlop was killed. |
