Thanks for these pictures Jack.
Never saw "Rabbit" in the air, so these pics will do nicely...since it is unlikely that I will ever get down under to see her in her new home.

In the last photo, why does the band mid fuselage appear brighter than the rest of the plane? Different type of metal? Just curious. Nice pictures by the way...

That was the former life raft compartment. Aero Trader removed it covered it with new skin.
It's either on Apache Princess or Betty's Dream now but I don't recall which one.
The shine is just new metal. You can't tell it anymore.
