I photographed these Vampire wings and booms at the National Transport & Toy Museum at Wanaka on 1/4/23. I forgot to check under that boom for an identity so I'll be grateful if anyone can identify the aeroplane. I couldn't find a fuselage pod anywhere.  |

Have seen the pod there. It must have been shifted. Ex the defunct museum at Bankstown.

"defunct museum at Bankstown."
Damn. I worked at Bankstown Aerodrome for six months in 1978 but nobody told me there was an aviation museum there!

It was known as the Australian Aviation Museum Bankstown. I visited several times and took a NZ tour group there. It had a number of DC3 airframes on site including a good few that had been part of Dakota National Air. These were trucked some distance away to storage elsewhere when the museum wound down. A number of other airframes made it to Wanaka.
