We are undertaking a major revamp of our pages concerning captured aircraft and today we have released an entirely new section on the types captured during Word War Two.

http://www.adf-serials.com.au/capturedWWII.htm

Each type now has it's own page and many types have been added compared to our original listing.

Research is still ongoing in this area and our WWI pages are undergoing a similar treatment.

As always, there is more to come .......

Hi Brendan.

All great stuff. Your "might have been" links go to the WW1 prize aircraft...

Posted by: Brendan Cowan Dec 17 2018, 01:20 PM
Ooops!

Thanks for that - I have amended the link in the original post!

Cheers

More great stuff. One minor technical difficulty is you placed the Fuji piston trainer over the Beech Musketeer info.

All interesting.

Thanks Randal,

I'll get that fixed too - I'm glad that you're paying attention!

And,

The new page that we gave you a sneak peak to is now live:

http://www.adf-serials.com.au/capturedWWI.htm

There is still some work to go tidying these up - but we thought that we'd make it available now in it's current form before the Christmas Break.

Cheers to all

A small update for the Convair 440 page.
Here is A96-353 now:
http://latinflyer.com/puerto-rico/in-flight-dining-on-the-ground-aviones-restaurant-in-puerto-rico/
I last confirmed it was there in Jul15, but have no reason to believe things have changed.
