Well done fellas! 

I once discovered a Sabre in a hangar at Narromine, half buried under hay bales and crap.

I remember my grade 9 history teacher telling me that he saw Sabres being sold for $60k in flying condition.  This would have been 1986 or thereabouts.

I had a ' Super Sabre ' given to me , when I worked for a ' scrap metal company ' .

Bit of a joke on me, the boss knowing I couldn't do anything with it .

Fully fuelled And ARMED . It could have been flown away , that day. 

Those " canons " I spent day's pulling them apart .

And I had a lead on a Canberra bomber many decades ago ... alas as a teenager my parents were not understanding and my backyard not big enough.
