Stored awaiting rebuild

Some notes via friend Ruud Leeuw from former owner John D. Williams:

VH-IDQ also came to grief. That was at Green Island, just off Cairns in November 2006. A new young pilot ran her on the reef and sank her. The wreck is in storage at Wayne McGilvrays' hangar at Mareeba awaiting a rebuild.
