In contrast to your pics Ollie, in December I took pics of 188911 which was given last Summer to the RCAF museum adjacent to CFB Trenton. It appeared to be completely repainted and looked almost factory new aside from the missing engines and seats.


I also noticed a number of Hornets stored on the other side of the fence with various parts missing, note the tail of what was the AETE 'color bird' 188907 on the left.
