The wings are the most recognisable pieces of wreckage of this Royal Navy Firefly T1 which crashed in bad weather on the North-facing slope of Cuidhe Crom on 16 May, 1949. The aircraft, from 766 Squadron, had been flying out of RNAS Fulmar (Lossiemouth) on that fateful day. Both crew members were killed in the accident. The wreckage can be seen from several kilometres away due to the yellow training paint scheme which, remarkably, is still much in evidence over 60 years later.

WB518 was with the Royal Australian Navy from 1950 - 1965 after which it was stored at Bankstown, NSW, later placed with the Services League, Griffith, NSW where it was displayed on a pole during 1967 - 1991. A restoration was begun using parts from another aircraft, but the project was sold to the USA partially completed. First flying again in 2002, the aircraft colors represent WB377 which was loaned to 817 Squadron aboard HMAS Sydney by the Royal Navy for duty in Korea. A landing accident in 2012 put the warbird out of action until another rebuild was completed in 2019.
