Its only good if your plane has canards. :eagerness:

There is. Plus a Vincent.

Only Vildebeests IVs (and no Vincents) had Perseus and were built in limited numbers but some went to NZ. But quick look shows that the Royal New Zealand Air Force Museum Vildebeest incorporates large parts of NZ102 plus NZ015 (both Pegasus engined MkIII) plus a couple of Vincents (NZ355 & NZ357)

The other rebuild is the Pegasus engined Vincent NZ311.

A year ago XV208 looked like this:

Spares recovery? Not looking good. But as I haven’t heard of any reports of Snoopy’s demise, I assume its still about.

What is going on with that Meteor behind WF907?
The nose and main u/c look far too close together and I can’t see it being due to the viewing angle. The shadow the Meteor casts isn’t helping much either.

Edit: Hmmm. Its two main wheels. But where is the nose?

I would imagine that there’s at least one preserved in Australia. Let it go.

One safe assumption you can make about aircraft preservation is not to assume that ‘someone somewhere else’ will preserve a type. And in any case what is the issue with preserving an Australian aircraft in the UK? I would think it unlikely to head back down under.

I do not care what museum or collection may acquire the Drover as long as its restored well, cared for and kept under cover. A far better scenario that the present situation.

I really wasn’t sure if this Drover was still around. I am happy to see that it is at least complete and has a chance of preservation.

Yes.
