Another great bunch of pics, thanks for posting.

Checkout those ghost turrets in the air to air formation shot. Looks like half-finished or maybe just poorly done censorship.

Neat indeed. The last photo of the line-up of Mitchells with KO markings is that of No 2 Sqn RAAF. Dutch No 18 Sqn was a RAAF sqn manned and serviced by about 60% Australians..

The B-25, an endless source of unique nose modifications. I assume the home made scoop on 5-237 was an attempt to force some cool air into the navigators area, not so sure I'd want to be sharing the nose compartment with 3 M2's when they start 'talking' :roll:
