Looking for FAA Corsair wartime images

[Scooby]

Mark Allen always finds stuff I have never seen before, hopefully he can come through in this thread.

I would really like to find more photographs of Don Sheppard's Corsair T-8H. I have seen the images in the three excellent excellent Vintage Wings of Canada articles. I don't think any additional images will surface although this would be the place to find them if they were out here.

Thanks everyone!

Here's a start ... I have a bunch others I can post as well if you like. Can you wait another day till I return home though? I'd be happy to post some nice stuff for you.

Yes Mark, please post more.

The Hellcat stuff is great! I have most of all the Corsair stuff you posted, except for maybe one. I will post my stuff as well. I have a lot on my ipad but I don't know how to add them to photobucket, they seam to be blocked. I guess Apple software may not be compatible with photobucket.

I have some great stuff from the HMS Arbiter which you have likely seen. I am in the process of getting some unpublished photographs from a former FAA Corsair pilot. I will post that soon too.

Looking forward to seeing what you guys post.

Thanks!

I've always liked the looks of the Royal Navy Corsairs.

I don't recall seeing those HMS Venerable images, do you have anymore FAA images Mark?

The FAA couldn't have had many photographers or people with access to 35 mm film in WWII as photographs of British Corsairs are very limited.
