For those who don't visit Britmodeller, I have some pictures to share that I have scanned from the damaged negatives. They are of RAAF Vultee Vengeance Mk.II aircraft of 24 Squadron during 1943 whilst based at Bankstown, Australia These images were captured shortly before 24 Sqn. returned to the Territory of New Guinea for operations in the SWPA.
You can also download larger 1800 x 1200 pixel images of the same pics from one of my Picasa albums here;
