Status: offline 		I was intrigued by this photo and ran a google search for "little hellion bomber" and found this:

http://home.st.net.au/~dunn/ozcrashes/qld231.htm

Apparently Little Hellion wasn't completely rebuilt, but was scavenged to build up another aircraft "Steak & Eggs" which was crashed on an island near Cooktown in June of '44. Little Hellion crashed near 7 Mile airfield on Nov 1, 1942.

Here's a postwar pic of "Steak & Eggs"
