wrecks north of Weipa

Hi all,
used to work in Weipa many moons ago, I always thought that the 2 wrecks on Duyfken Point were P47's.
I've only got photos of them from the air, not from the ground but they did look p47ish, they had been destroyed by the pilots to prevent falling into Japanese hands.

there is also a flying fortress somewhere close to Weipa in the jungle...never had the nerve to try to find that one.
