Replacing the Fulmar as a two-seat naval fighter, the Firefly entered service in 1944. This aircraft wears the large US-style roundels adopted by the British Pacific Fleet, although in fact this one was used for spin trials at home.

This is one of those tricky ones! The original WB518 was built for the RAN and delivered in 1950. In 1965 it was delivered to Bankstown for disposal and eventually bought by the town of Griffith, NSW, as a war memorial and mounted on a pole in the centre of town. After VH-HMW/WD828 crashed in 1987, WB518 was removed from its pole and the forward fuselage and centre-section was used to rebuild WD828. The corresponding bits from WD828 were used to reconstruct WB518, and it was re-mounted on its pole.
