Parts from 159 will help with the rebuild of 173 and later down the track will end up on display itself in some form.  (David Geck) >>> Open cockpit weekend 2010 (David Geck)

These 3 photos were taken late in 2015.  Since then it had a minor spruce up    however within the next two years it is scheduled to be repainted.  It will likely go back to the standard green  finish as flown in Vietnam with the addition of the orange/white wallaby tail flash.  (Chas Van Hulsentop)
