wallyinoz Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Three or four weeks ago I started tossing a lot of reference material out..it's ok most of it was sourced from the internet anyway! Then I started selling off the stash as my interests have changed. One of the guys I sold something to, asked me if I had any pictures of cranes used in the goldfields of PNG in the 30's. I had a distant memory of seeing some pics and looking at my PC and laptop I realised I was missing some historical pictures I was given by Dennis Gray some 10 years ago and also pics I had found in the Exxon historical files. I dusted off my old laptop and found them there, these pictures must never be lost so I am putting them "out there" maybe they will help other modellers and aviation historians: loads more in my photostreamhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/87490663@N08/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisTheBear Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Fantastic collection! I've followed your photostream and will absolutely use some of them when I can start building again. DennisTheBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchem Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Cracking collection of photos Wally although I can't say I fancy flying with the airline on Page 56 (Row 6) - Cabin crew don't look too friendly ! Is there a story behind the photo ? mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyinoz Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 sorry mike I dont know which picture you mean. I dont have much backstory to these. Every now and then I look at them and try to identify aircraft if the registration is obscured etc somethings will forever remain a mystery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Garard Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I think Mike's referring to the pic of the KKK crew in front of their biplane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchem Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Thanks Scott. Did seem a bit odd so I did a Google search on "KKK biplane". Apparently the photo was taken in the USA on 22 March 1918 and the KKK used it to drop leaflets over the countryside. Now I've just got to wait for the knock on the door for typing KKK on my keyboard. 🤣 mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
