Prototype Heron scrapped?

The prototype Heron was sold by the RAAFA museum at Bull Creek WA a few years ago to the International Airliners Museum in Hallam Victoria.(a one man / one aircraft – private collection)

The private owner passed away last year and the future of the aircraft was uncertain and caught up in the sale of the deceased estate.

The uncertainty has recently been resolved and the aircraft has changed hands to another private owner with the intention of ongoing preservation as a static airframe.

While I am aware of this, I am not able to speak on behalf of that private owner to advise of his long term plans and intentions.
