Acquired by Pearce Dunn for his Warbirds Aviation Museum at Mildura Vic Australia. In 1974 was at the Warbirds Aviation Museum. It was exchanged by Pearce Dunn for AT-16 Harvard Fv 16077 (now VH-TXN), and sent to Sweden on August 29, 1981, arriving on October 13. Parts of the Wirraway were used to rebuild an N.A.-16 4M, Sk 14, for the Swedish AF Museum. As the restoration is now complete, the remaining parts of the Wirraway has been returned to Australia - possibly to Mildura. NOTE: There is some doubt that it was actually A20-233 that ended up at Mildura and then Sweden. Some photos of the crash of A20-233 would suggest that it was far to badly damaged to be this example. This is under current investigation
