Three Wire (your p.366/#7312 and my reply #7320),
I've worked through more of your: "ADF Serials - Vengeance" <
www.adf-serials.com.au/2a27.htm> and realised that the list of comments and questions is going to be far too long to put out on Post, so I'll just copy your link (above) to anyone interested, and draw attention in a PS to the
C/N numbers which particularly caught my eye. Once again, thank you for this 'steer' !
Danny.
PS:
What an unrelenting tale of woe ! (we thought we had troubles enough in India/Burma, but.......)
416 417 418 420 435 441 455 457 602 (a real jinx if ever there was !) 603 604 605 627 628 629 632 (I simply cannot account for this explosion) 635 (my line of business on 1340 Flight) 640 643 (Peter C. Smith's "Vengeance") has the full pilot F/Sgt Limbrick's story and pics) 646 651 (bullock on runway !)
EDIT: Note 675, this also happened in India, the fabric covering of the elevators was replaced by metal.
720 (EZ999 our old pal) 4312 (I like the name !) 4341 (Tragic ! The airmen on the wings should have been hanging onto the dive brakes - but could they have been just sitting with legs dangling over the leading edge ?) 5096 (horrific story of the W/Cdr passenger being burned to death in the air)
It just goes on and on !
