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

Miles Hawk, Miles Falcon Major, Miles Falcon Six & Miles Merlin

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 PC-21 page 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.

With help from some friends, we have been able to identify the serials of the four Aerosondes taken into the State Register and deployed on Operation ANODE:

A50 Aerosonde

If anyone can help us with more photos or information, we'd love to hear from you.

Hi Folks,

We have added a new introduction section to the 454, 456 & 459 Sqn Bristol Blenheim page.

(IMG:http://www.adf-gallery.com.au/gallery/albums/Blenheim/IMG_0568.jpg)

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.
