Hi everyone, I have nearly completed a complete re-write of our Gloster Gauntlet page.

Many thanks to Alex Crawford and Gordon Birkett for their invaluable help.

As you will see - I still have a few elements to complete the page - but I thought I'd share it with you all now.

Kiowa page added serials of as many Kiowas in storage at Avalon as I have been able to determine.
The word is that they will be auctioned during next years Avalon Air Show

Also added a dozen or so new images

[Martin Edwards]

Orion page updated the latest disposals of the Orion fleet.
There are still photos to be added but that is a job for another day.

[Martin Edwards]

I have added an album for F-111 preserved tails there are still a few to add so if you have one in your neighborhood please send in a photo

[Brenden S]

Great work mate

[Kas Grigonis]

Noice!

[Martin Edwards]

MRH-90 Taipan page
I have added image albums and links for another ten Taipans
A40-015, 020, 025, 028, 032, 033, 034, 035, 039, 041
Thanks to Phil Munsel and Darren Crick for the images
There are still a few to add

Hey, have you ever thought of becoming an ADF-Serials page author?
Here is you chance, this particular type has a lot going on and we need someone to collect the news item so that we can preserve the early history of the Taipan

[Martin Edwards]

WHAT WE DIDN'T GET DONE!

Mark Harbour has provided a swag of B-25 and Boston codes but unfortunately time got the better of me including them in October's update

Likewise Mike Mirkovic has provided us with a great collection of Beaufighter, Liberator and Mitchell photos that I have yet to add

I'll try and catch up ASAP

[Martin Edwards]

After nearly 80 years since its demise we receive our first photos of Hawker Demon A1-28 from Alan Capp
It is great that these photos are still out there and ADF-Serials is pleased that we can show them to an appreciative audience
Thanks Alan

[Martin Edwards]

Just an observation, this month's update thread has had approx 260 views
Back in September 2105 we had approx. 3000 views.
July 2013 had 4700 views.
I wonder where all the viewers went? (err maybe Facebook)

[Brenden S]

Only the true historian geeks still seek out adf message board. At least all the data is easily found unlike stalkbook

[Martin Edwards]

Detrimental to this messageboard maybe, to the overall website no.
It has provided us with a wealth of new historical images and I am sure it has exposed ADF-Serials to a much wider audience overall.

[Brenden S]

Best add in the RAN 60's that are now of to Starlight.
