    Now that I think about it, I havent seen many colour shots of the RAAF either
    Fr President Clemenceau’s speech to the AIF 7th July 1918: “ we expected a great deal of (Australians)… We knew that you would fight a real fight, but we did not know that from the beginning you would astonish the whole continent. I shall go back and say to my countrymen “I have seen the Australians, I have looked in their faces …I know that they will fight alongside of us again until the cause for which we are all fighting is safe for us and for our children”.

    Thanx for that Wildcat. Seeing Kittyhawks and Beauforts in color is fantastic! I just wish there was more footage!

    Here's a well-known pic of aircraft that were flown by Aussies:

    Thanx Buffnut, i found the avatar pic off the net, but i forget the website! I hope its ok for me to use it! I think it depics Buffalo from 453 RAAF Squadron. Flown by Sergeant H.H.Griffiths. The Osprey Aces book for the Brewster Buffalo says that he was credited with two Ki-27s destroyed.color RAAF pics in the Pacific-griffith.jpg
