Default VH-EBU

Managed to visit VH-EBU today. I'm curious to know if the inside of this aircraft is also stripped? I would imagine the cockpit would be stripped of all useful parts, I wonder if most the seats are still inside?

It's a shame she has been left in this state... Since the closure of the QF heavy maintenance base like you I wonder what will happen to the aircraft? Lets just hope she's not left there to rot and corrode

Still there! Would've thought that it would have been broken down (scrapped) by now!

Agreed, I thought it would of been reduced to beer cans long ago.

The price of scrap can't be that high.

Isn't it owned by a company that uses it for security training?

It would be well corroded sitting down at AVV for over a decade.
