Just goes to show you cannot trust the notes on the picture.
The aircraft was written off on the 22/12/44 at Wama strip at Morotai.
The r/h mainplane was damaged beyond repair. The aircraft was returned to Australia for repair but was instead put up for disposal.
FWD's by the way did not fully come out of RAAF service until the very late 50's and were very highly thought of. A lot were disposed of by the two airfield construction squadrons, which would have meant that many would have ended up in Victoria and Darwin
