What ho! Talking Dutch, are we?

Anyhow, I'm sure one Dutchman will be happy with this picture!

Will cross post to relevant thread....

Three Spitfires VC at Italy (Canne) and a CMP at the background. C-60L ?

One interesting point to me (after the C-60L at the back!) is that the third spit far from the
camera is the no. JK226 which was transferred from the RAF to RHAF (Greek Air Force) around 1946.

Seen on Facebook, a 5 Sqn Boomerang with a CMP 3-tonner in the background.

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!

And more info from Matt Denning, Boomerang builder:

The Status Card indicates a ground loop on landing on the 9/11/43 at Mareeba strip. The flaps are up, but probably retracted after the accident. The aircraft wasn’t under much power when the gear collapsed sideways as the prop blades aren’t bent although the card indicates 30% damage to the airscrew and only 10% flap damage. Unfortunately this machine was lost in a mid-air collision with A46-36.
