I only wish I had a camera with me when I drove past it.

It was a surprise to see it out in the middle of nowhere.
I have asked a 'local' if they could possibly get a picture and sent it to me (here's hoping) otherwise I will have to get one when I go that way again in about 4 weeks.

It definitely did not look like a replica.

Does anyone know who were allocated / given bits and pieces of the F111 or where I can find out such info?

One local story (unconfirmed) is that it was given to the local RSL (don't see the connection with the aircraft) and if so, why is it in the paddock?

Cheers

PS did a Google maps / Nearmaps look at the area but the photos of the area are very poor quality and I am unable to make out any detail.
