Received at the end of 1956 and assigned to RAAF Butterworh in Malaysia in 1959, this Sabre served with 79 Sqn at Ubon, Thailand during the period 1962 to 1968. In 1963 it suffered a collision with A94-943 and was repaired in situ using the port wing of that aircraft. Formerly displayed on gate of RAAF Williamtown, it is now immaculately presented in the Fighter Town museum.
