Well.. I do know that a few of the Soar Vixxens at Moorabbin are now operating out of Lilydale FS and are a popular option to their Jabiru fleet. Of the ones that didn't leave immediately, most of the remainder of the Soar fleet were parked behind the hangar in First Street for a while and slowly drifted off to new owners over time.. farmers, other flying schools, etc. Even their Bristells which I wouldn't take even if someone gave me one! None were damaged
AFAIK and there are none left now. There hasn't been a yellow aircraft in the circuit at Moorabbin for a long time (thank goodness).
