A94-922 was used during testing the de Havilland Blue Jay missile. The Blue Jay was ultimately developed as the Firestreak. The trials were not without danger. A DH technician was killed when a Blue Jay fitted to a Sabre accidentally fired in a hangar at Woomera. Evetts Field is a more remote satellite airfield for Woomera. The RAAF, despite its role in the Blue Jay/Firestreak trials, never adopted the British missile, opting instead for the Sidewinder. A94-922 was returned to 81 Wing.

The Marksmen was an aerobatic team that used the RR Avon-engined Sabre. A94-922 was retained by the RAAF in storage until 1994 when it was swapped for a collection of Douglas Boston components needed for a museum project. The Sabre changed hands a couple of times and was shipped to Ardmore, New Zealand, for restoration to airworthy. That work stopped in 2005 but it remained in excellent condition in 2017.
