                        I think they said it was in New Zealand and they said it was the only flyable one left. It was probably rebuilt as it didn't appear to too badly damaged

                        Bubbamoosecat, there seem to be (or were) three in New Zealand. This link shows one of them last year. I believe that they were all rebuilds and all were airworthy. -Ed http://users.argonet.co.uk/users/vicsmith/DownUnder/I153.html

                        Where was that? There's one in the museum in Paris and I doubt that it would ever be permitted to fly. Is there another somewhere?

                        Didn't they rebuild that A/C after that accident?
