Wonder what happened to the Boomerang. It appears to have sustained very little damage for a 'wheels up' landing - even the prop blades we can see appear straight, and they are usually well bent in such cases. Engine already stopped before landing, perhaps?
Do you have a date on the image, Keith? According to Wilson's book, A46-32 was w/o after it collided with A46-36 near Parkes, NSW, in December 1944, but the damage we see here doesn't look that bad: maybe this is another occasion?
Nice one Keith!
