This Vampire is not what it appears to be. Displayed at the RAAF Museum this Vampire
is painred in the colours of the RAAF’s only target tug Vampire; but it isn’t that aircraft.
The original target tug Vampire was scrapped and when the Friends of the RAAF
Museum restored this aircraft they chose the colourful target tow scheme.
Not all target tugs have spectacular colour schemes. This GAF Canberra A84-225,
sister ship to the museums Canberra, served as a a target tug at RAAF Base
Butterworth in Malaysia. This Canberra is now displayed at the Queensland Air
Museum.
