DH Vampire A79-375 (Currently displayed as A79-876) 

Two Vampires with confused identities are A79-375 and A79-733. At some stage the tail groups have been interchanged. The distinguishing visual clues are the wing tips. A79-375 is a F-30 and has rounded wingtips. A79-733 is a FB-31 and has clipped wingtips. This has been confirmed by the RAAF Museum's Dave Gardener in a letter to Fligthpath magazine.
