The RAAF operated eight Republic P-43s, four of which were P-43Bs and the remaining four P-43Ds. Modified for photographic reconnaissance work they were operated by 1PRU. They were operated from August 1942 until May 1943 when they were re[;ace by Lockheed F-4 Lightnings. destinationsjourney.com/histor #RepublicP43Lancer #RepublicP43 #RAAF #WW2 #Aviation #AviationHistory

A Matchbox North American B-25J Mitchell kit modified into one used by the RAAF by using Aussie Decals 1:72 North American B-25 Mitchell set. The model represents B-25J A47-26 KO-K of 2 Squadron RAAF in 1944. destinationsjourney.com/scale- #NorthAmericanB25 #northamericanb25jmitchel #RAAF #RoyalAustralianAirForce #WW2 #Aviation #AviationHistory #scalemodel

Heading down to the beach today, @leece and I saw a military transport doing a sharp turn *below the roofline of Observation City* at Scarborough.

So we tracked for a bit as it had a transponder running, and it went out to Wadjemup, and then up the Swan, and back to Pearce.

A bit later it came back, this time doing the sharp turn just over City Beach, before heading down the coast a bit more, and then turning back.

This gave me a chance to grab this shot as it went overhead at about 600ft.

What is really curious is that the cargo door is open. I wonder why?
