I believe the hulk may still be at Bankstown for fire training but may be wrong.
Folks,
The fuselage sat along the fence behind AFTS for many years, and was finally cut up, as I remember. I don't think it was ever used for fire service training, in fact aluminium aeroplanes last about once, compared to some of the weird steel contraptions used, unless the fire is extinguished faster than a "real" fire. Witness the amazing fire "aeroplane" at EGLL.

There have not been any fire services at capital city secondary airports for many years.

Tootle pip!!
