Again, excellent pictures. I was just wonderin' have you got any websites that have the RAAF squadron codes? I've got an excellent RAF one but that doesn't deal with the Commonwealth squadrons unless they're actually in the RAF (450-467 RAAF etc. etc.).

No sorry I don't, I have an excellent book that I use, it has a brief history on all the squadrons, where they were based, sqdn codes, aircraft used etc. If you have any questions regarding any RAAF squadrons, drop me a line, and I'll see if I can get an answer for you.
That's interesting, 'coz I've never seen that before D. I'm not being sarcastic or anything, I really do find that interesting.
Whenever I've seen RAAF or RCAF mentioned, it always referred to the Royal Australian Air Force or Royal Canadian Air Force, respectively. I've never heard of Australian squadrons in the RAF being referred to as "RAAF". Different.
To those in that club.
