When that picture was taken, the fuel left in the tanks was probably worth more than the Spits!

Best story I heard (I think from a book called " Hunting Warbirds") detailed a guy who bought a stack of WW2 aircraft, then sold the gas in them back to the Govt, and made a bundle......

Paul Mantz was the man! He unfortunately died during the making of "The Flight of the Phoenix".

Very interesting - those are Aussie Spits. Any idea where and when taken? Is that Archerfield?

Whilst I can't be certain, this photo looks very similar to one I have seen before, and I believe the caption mentioned it as having been taken at or near Oakey.

Oakey was my other thought - flat Downs terrain by the look of it.

Archerfield is also flat but so many buildings now it would be hard to pick. All that hardware sitting there waiting to be melted down - and not one example kept for the Army Museum at Oakey!
