August 1986 Photo of the removal of A79-642 from the pole in front of the Castle at DH Bankstown and its replacement the composite XA 167 / A79-842 . The replacement Vampire confusingly painted as XA 873 ....not a number ever allocated to a Vampire in Australia. You would wonder why they would opt for a Non Australian Built number when its supposed to be some kind of Icon in front of a manufacturing facility. I feel confident none inside the Castle would have had a clue. 642 was not on the pole long enough to suffer significant damage to the fuselage pod and was remarkably intact.
