Yes please  The 727 hulk, was that the third attrition airframe? Those Vampires look as though they are parked in the spot where the Skyhawks now rest. |

Great photo, and yes, I'd love to see any others you may have too.  The single seater isn't the one now on display in the Atrium at Wigram, is it? |

I think all Woodbourne's Vampire instructional airframes went to the RNZAF Musuem. One two-seater was swapped by them for the Indonesian Mustang now in the museum.
Fantastic photo, thanks for posting it. Please post the others. Is that a glider in the background?
