First generation of jet bombers launched in 1955. This example is ex-RAF and acquired in 2001 by the Temora Aviation Museum. It was repainted in RAAF 2 Squadron from the era of operational work in Vietnam.

The explosive charge start system has been updated to an electric start system to reduce operational costs
