Just a little update to our impressed Miles aircraft types page (RAAF A37).

I've added the C/N's and types to the page for now and there will be more to come on these aircraft.

Updated http://www.adf-serials.com/3a54.htm with our usual thanks to ongoing support from Stephan Widmer in Stans and Nathan Rundle in Adelaide.
I saw this on a Dutch website but I think that they lost something in the translation.

We are still short on individual aircraft identities and histories and would appreciate any additional information that you can provide.

Cheers

Plus I corrected the identity of the aircraft pictured below.
On first impression it looks like A3-33 but closer inspection of the fuselage serial shows it to be A3-134.
Unusually it also wears wheel spats.
