My apologies if this posted in the wrong section or is a repost. I had thought Scott setup a "Base Theater", but I did not see it in the Index.


I came across these while researching my grandfather's unit (7th CAV) in New Guinea. They are of the RAAF while in New Guinea. I found this footage intersting as I know almost nothing of the RAAF during WW2 and thought I'd share


RAAF in New Guinea Pt1 (Beaufort Bombers)

RAAF in New Guinea Pt2 (Beauforts & Kittyhawks)........and Spits with tropical filters :wink: (correct nomen??)

not that it matters,but it was created for some members that used to be in here that could come up with nothing original and posted nothing but links, but the thread you were looking for is the very first thread on the Hangar page.


I think they will forgive you for doing it once or twice, any more than that and Scott may whip you with a wet noodle.

thanks, i hadn't seen them or the other stuff posted by the same guy.

shay you should have a look at what else the RAAF did and how they did it. i don't know much detail myself, but what i do know i think is really interesting.
