Hello again,
After another 24 hour site glitch with our ISP this week we're back again. Thanks Darren for sorting that out! The first update for this month is my continuing work on the: A22 Fairey Battle (RAF "L" Serials) Over the past week I've updated the RAF Histories for the following airframes: L4985, L4998, L4999, L5005, L5006, L5012, L5013, L5015, L5017, L5018, L5022, L5023, L5028, L5029, L5031, L5038, L5044, L5049, L5050, L5052, L5061, L5069, L5070, L5082, L5087, L5094, L5096, L5105, L5018, L5117, L5122, L5124, L5128, L5129, L5134, L5142, L5143, L5151, L5152, L5156, L5158, L5163, L5170, L5173, L5202, L5212, L5215, L5217, L5221, L5223, L5240, L5244, L5599, L5600, L5602, L5603, L5604, L5609, L5610, L5617, L5644, L5650, L5651, L5652, L5653, L5654, L5655, L5656, L5657, L5658, L5659, L5660. Even after knocking off RAF histories for another 72 aircraft, it still seems like I have heaps to go! As ever, If you can contribute any photos that we are missing of RAAF Battles, then we'd love to hear from you! Cheers Brendan Attached Image |

Back again,
I've just updated another batch of RAF histories for the dear old battle. This time it's the following 32 aircraft: L5257, L5258, L5262, L6267, L5274, L5278, L5285, L5291, L5302, L5305, L5311, L5313, L5320, L5322, L5326, L5354, L5357, L5358, L5382, L5385, L5387, L5390, L5403, L5407, L5409, L5417, L5425, L5434, L5435, L5444, L5452, L5471. I'd like to finish these before Christmas so that I can get on to adding the RAAF histories for the Battles next year. Let's see how close I can get! Cheers Brendan Attached Image |

Hi All,
Paul McGuiness has done an outstanding job of completely updating both our: Airspeed Oxford (IMG:http://www.adf-gallery.com.au/gallery/albums/Oxford-AT470/P014552.jpg) and Avro 643 Cadet Pages. (IMG:http://www.adf-gallery.com.au/gallery/albums/Cadet/P990398.jpg) This has been a mammoth effort over the last few months with information updated for every airframe - some practically from scratch! If any one can help us with more information or photos to add, then we'd love to hear from you at question@adf-serials.com.au . Cheers Brendan |

We've also had a request for more information on the RAAF's short lived use of Jet Provost T2 A99-001 (G-AOHD) from David Watkins who writes:
I have made some quick updates to our Jet Provost Page today including some new photos. If you have any leads for us, we'd love to hear from you at question@adf-serials.com.au. Cheers Brendan Attached Image |
