Hornet133 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Not that I know of. Colour photos of any WW.II RAAF aircraft are rare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Russell Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 There do not appear to be any colour pictures of these aircraft although there are plenty of b/w ones. If you are asking about the thread quoted above with its colourised picture, although Photobucket has rendered it partially useless the main point is still valid - that they were in fact repainted in overall Foliage Green but did not look like that picture with its White undersurfaces.

stevehnz Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 It is possible to view the photos in the Aussiemodels thread. Right click on the PB evil icon & click view image, this should bring you into the PB website & still show the evil image. Then do Ctrl + F5 which will refresh the PB page & should, it has for me, reveal the photos. I right clicked & saved them & was then able to refer to them as I read the thread. I found it interesting comparing them to the Kiwi ones which from memory came out at about the same time. Alan will know. Ours stayed in TSS till later in/after the war when they reverted to natural metal, I think. Steve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngstROM Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Yes, it WORKS!!! Had to 'Open Image In New Tab' when right-clicking on the original PB icon, but otherwise just as described. Cheers Sir! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Russell Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Follow the instructions in the posts above (look at the AMI thread and use Steve's instructions for Botophucket) and you will get the pictures. They were moderately weathered as you would expect but not excessively so. If you read this http://www.adf-serials.com.au/2a26.htm you will see they did not have long careers as transports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to also bear in mind that the weather and operational conditions in the SW Pacific, differed from Europe. Click on the link below: The slide show 1st & 2nd photos and last are at Rose Bay, Australia - note the lack of any great amounts of weathering except for usual waterline gunge, tender scrapes near forward hatch, some paint fading etc etc. RAAF Sunderland Mk III - Rose Bay A26-1 circa 1944 Hope that helps?
