June 2013 Updates

[Martin Edwards]

Following on from last month's update on the gallery page we have decided to create a bigger and brighter home page with direct links to both the aircraft page and the image gallery album for each aircrfat type.
A working sample is at http://www.adf-serials.com.au/home%2030.05.2013.htm
naturally all aircraft will be included in the final version

Whilst the home page will serve in the same way a book has a contents page the gallery page will be an index that is user friendly, designed for quick reference.
This is now finished and is on line at
http://www.adf-serials.com.au/Gallery.htm

We welcome any comments and feedback.

I have also updated the second series A38 page into two seperate pages for the Stinson Reliant and the Stinson L-5 Sentinal

Good Stuff Martin!

We've had a pretty busy May with lots of updates to the site and this is a great start to June!

Another updated page (or now set of pages) today for the mighty Mustang.

Given the size of the page we have done the same as we have done with the some other high airframe count pages (Beaufort, Wirraway, Kittyhawk etc..) and broken it into several pages:


Main A68 Mustang Page

A68 Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation CA-17 & CA-18 Mustang A68-1 to A68-200

A68 North American P-51K Mustang A68-500 to A68-583

A68 North American P-51D Mustang A68-600 to A68-813 & A68-1001

North American P-51C/D/K Mustang III, IV & IVa (3 Sqn & 450 Sqn, RAAF) RAF Serials

Also, I couldn’t help chucking in even more info on the A67 Lodestar page too.

Cheers

BC

Another big page broken up today into smaller chunks and updated to our current format is the dear old Tiger Moth.

Main A17 Tiger Moth page

Tiger Moth A17-1 to A17-300

Tiger Moth A17-301 to A17-600

Tiger Moth A17-601 to A17-965

Tiger Moth RAF Serials

We still have a long way to go update the details for these airframes, but you will see that we have a pretty decent photo collection (but we are not averse to receiving more!).

Check out these two classics from Lee Morgan of some larking about on A17-187 at 11 ETFS Benalla.

Cheers

Hi guys,
An awesome job with all the updates coming out!
One thing I have just noticed with the updated Beaver page is all aircraft are listed as 'A95-201'.
It's pretty easy to work out what they should be but thought I'd bring it to your attention for a fix sometime in the future.

Thanks,
Mike

[Martin Edwards]

Thanks Mike, that error has been rectified
