Any ideas on identity ?

A4K, I was under the impression that the RNZAF didn't serve in New Guinea rather seeing their action in the Solomons, Bougainville and New Britain.

You might be right there Wildcat, in which case sorry Aggle! Need to check up on my info a bit...

(forgot to mention Hudsons, Venturas, and Harpoons too, by the way...)

Actually folks - stick grips as such as a "standard part" as they could be used on a number of aircraft (as seen).

Wildcat and Aggle, you're both right! Our aircraft were in numerous islands of the PNG umbrella (including our Corsairs at New Britain, etc.) but didn't fight over the 'mainland' as such. Always good to learn something...
