I thought i had read about the Swifts somewhere...Nigel Walpole in "Swift Justice" lists some of the Swifts in operation Buffalo at Marilinga (and mentions the Mustangs too!) Good book as that is the same chapter that gives an account of WK198's restoration (to which i am very close!)

ShyTorque - there were a significant number of aircraft scrapped at the MU in the late 60's at Shawbury so that may be the source of the bits. As a youngster a few years ago I used to go round the farmers fields next to the base in the hope of finding any left over bits - surprisingly we found nothing!!
