RAAF pics - Aircraft of World War II

Wildcat · 07-20-2006, 08:45 AM

Anyone out there got any coloured pics of any RAAF aircraft in WWII? They seem to be few and far between.
Cheers

Anyone?

I have a grand total of 4 pictures in my collection of RAAF aircraft, sadly. These were collected from other sites over a few years and you probably already have them. I have 2 Wirraway and 2 Woomera shots.

Sources unknown on these, sorry.

Thanks mate, I didn't have that secong Wirraway pic, cheers.

Ive got some colour pictures, but I took them at Temora in June.
Wirraway, Boomerang, Hudson & Spitfire VIII.

I also live up the road from Pt Cook RAAF Museum and need to revisit, they have a Boston.

Lucky bast*rd! One day I'll make the trip over to Temora. I've also been to the RAAF museum a few years back now, time for a re-visit me thinks.
Got any WWII RAAF colour pics Jeff?

JeffK · 07-29-2006, 05:06 AM

No,

And I doubt many were taken, unless by US troops.

I get "Flightpath" Magazine regularly and dont recall any,

Sorry, but I have this pictures only.

Wildcat · 07-30-2006, 01:38 AM

Thanks mate, I already had those ones though, except for the Shrike. Can you remember where you got that pic from?

Nice Walrus there!

Jarda Rankl · 07-30-2006, 06:52 AM

Chaps, I send some B&W pictures A-25A ( 1st Profile 124, 2nd Squadron Signal) for illustration.

Wildcat · 07-30-2006, 07:00 AM

Cool pics mate, could you shrink the size a bit especially the one on the bottom right - I haven't got that one! Thanks again for the pics!

Hi Wildcat & fellow Adelaidian!!! In your collection of photographs would you have a Halifax of 462 sqdn with the crew under the nose/wing. There may be a caption similar to " this aircraft was subsequently lost with P/O mervyn Rohrlach at the controls. My father was the only survivor and i would love to locate a copy of this. Regards John

Sorry I don't john, Have you tried the war memorial site?
