More Veneances to come

From adf serials:

"Components of Vultee Vengeance A27-247 together with parts of Vengeance airframes is currently with the Historic Aircraft Restorations (HARS) at Albion Park, NSW:

A27-247 was recovered from Lancelin Airfield, WA by Stan Gajda in the 70s together with other Vengeance components from Boulder (Kalgoolie), WA where 30 Vengeance airframes were scrapped at CMU Boulder post war. The parts originally went to the Bull Creek Museum, then to Whaleworld and then Precision Aerospace at Wangarratta before being transferred to HARS.

Rumours abound that not one but two Vengeances will be restored at HARS with one to go back to the USA on completion. Apparently there's a world-wide search being conducted at present for Vengeance components.

I hope this is of some help.

The threads on the provenance of EZ999 has been fascinating reading."

A27-247 is an A-31 Vengeance IIA, ex AF929, which served in 25 SQN RAAF.
