Terrible footage that, I remember first reading about that incident in the John Lever book. Owen, thanks for the book recommendation, I'll have to keep an eye out for that one!
Graeme here's another Beaufreighter pic for you mate, certainly an ungainly looking beast! The second pic is one of my favourites

Wonderful photo Wildcat!

It must have been a popular Public Relations photo shot back in those days, having the flightcrew walking past their mounts...

Hi All,

I thought it would be appropriate to post this image as well.

The crew of 100 SQN RAAF Beaufort A9-557. L to R; Flying Officer John Shipman, Flight Lieutenant Harry John "Jack" Fowler (Pilot), Flight Lieutenant 'Frank' Owen Smith and Flying Officer Geoff Waite.

This crew was lost on operations 13th March 1945.

Regards,

Owen

Great pics guys, I've always liked that B24 shot Graeme!
Owen, I have seen that pic before and doing a quick search on the war memorial site came up with this further pic of FLTLT Smith. No doubt you've already seen it, but I thought I would post it anyway.

That was of course GRAEME's comment, not Wayne's (---) I think I'm just going to stick my head in a barrel for half an hour...
