F111 Cockpit+Nose in yard at Blackbutt

——————————————————————————–

There is a complete F111 cockpit and nose-cone assembly sitting on a yellow hangar trolley, in the front yard of a rural property near the Taromeo end of Franks Road, Blackbutt QLD.

Does anyone know anything about it’s background and how it got there?

Local rumours are that the ‘owner’ is planning on hoisting it up into some trees and leave it there.
The owner already has a car body stuck up in the trees and has had for years.

Surely the F111 deserves a better ending than being a birds-nest or something.
Something like this should have been sent off to a museum or at least the local RSL club or such and placed on proper display.

I saw it last week-end when driving through the area.

Cheers
