The uploaded image album had been loaded with 380 images from our generous contributors. That album has been put away for safe keeping until Kas and myself can move the photos to their correct aircraft albums. It is a slow but satisfying job. As the photos are added they will be acknowledged here There is a fresh http://www.adf-gallery.com.au/gallery/uploaded at the same URL |

Fixed a typo on the Wirraway page for A20-133. It read that it was transferred to the RAN in 1957 and the data card says 1952. Created favicons for all common devices and uploaded them to the root for the website. Added page code to the home page header so they'll now display when the home page is loaded. I'll modify individual page headers at a later time. A little ADF-Serials icon will now display next to peoples bookmarks for the homepage and next to the homepage title in browser tabs. |

And a new page for you today to start recording the: http://www.adf-serials.com.au/3a51.htm |

My update to the http://www.adf-serials.com/3a18.htm page didn't just include 100+ photos! Although we do have new albums for A18-317, 321, 404, 404, 405, 406 and 407 The eagle eyed reader will notice that many of the higher serials do not include photos taken while in ADF service. Truth is the Nomad N24s saw very little ADF service although they served for a long time in the TNI-AL. TNI-AL is short for Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Laut, the Indonesian navy The TNI-AL also 'acquired' 14 of the Army's N22B Nomads although there isn't a lot of evidence of them seeing much service. They also acquired 16 containers of spares. They are reported to have paid two million dollars for the 20 aircraft, some were nearly brand new. And they got a million dollars a year for 10 years from Australia to operate them. Of those 20 two were lost in fatal accidents, A18-319 in December 2007 and A18-403 in September 2009 Overall they must like them enough to mount a few on plinths. Below is the former A18-315 |

Aircraft owners are very happy when ADF-Serials provide them with history and photos of their aircraft ADF-Serials are very happy when aircraft owners provide them with history and photos of their aircraft Our thanks to David Cooke, the current owner of http://www.adf-gallery.com.au/gallery/DH82A-Tiger-Moth-A17-316 What a wonderful looking beast. Not that there is anything wrong with Trainer Yellow but some of the post war civilian schemes just look so fine. |
