Wartime History
Abandoned near Vunakanau Airfield.

Wreckage
Abandoned at the former airfield, this wreck was displayed at the Rabaul Technical School near Vunakanau during the 1970s.

When school children front the nearby school began vandalizing some of the wreckage at Rabaul Technical School, Brian Bennett transported the wrecks including this airframe to Vunatung Plantation at Tobera Airfield for better display.
