Well ole 'SYD been about everything in it's time

Perhaps unique as not many aircraft get lengthened....the odd prototype but how many had the bits taken out again. :think:

There is a pic of her like that on A.net I think....she was delivered and tested like that. I think the painting came after the refit.
