Painted yellow and posed as if it had plunged into the ground, A79-985 was a billboard for Weaver and Lock's soft drinks on the Albany Highway at suburban Armadale for many years. It had crashed at RAAF Pearce on September 15, 1956. It was scrapped in 1996 but had been removed from the roadside many years before that.
