Excellent news to hear they are taking the poor old girl (A94-959) down off the pole….

HARS tried quite a few years ago to save her…… but strong local opposition from an amazingly, noisy, and aggressive minority called Save Our Sabre group was unbelievable…….at the public meeting sponsored by Council you would have thought we were Adolf Hitler the way we were treated by Save Our Sabre.

As is human nature with these things the Save Our Sabre organization did absolutely nothing positive themselves for the sabre except keep it up the pole rotting for a few more extra years whilst Council were forced to look at a politically more palatable solution.

To see the condition of her look at the photos in ADF Serial Web site of Sabre A94-959 in Series Two aircraft
