Thanks India Four Two.
I liked the idea of some details in the photo giving clues to research.
With the B-24 challenge I learned something about
:
- The 380Th BG operations in Australia
- How to fly the B-24 and operate a Norden bombsight
- Some history of RAAF 25 squadron
Then about the "secret" Corunna Downs airfield in Western Australia
There are good recent hi-res photos of Corunna Downs here

and some rare photos when the base was operational

This all made a great little history lesson that I thoroughly enjoyed.
In contrast, using Google images or the "I guess a country" then "I guess a place" and "no - a bit further east etc," shotgun approach does not appeal so much.
