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! Mike C |

Presumably it had almost stopped and would have been undamaged but for the ditch.

Here's a pic of Lancaster A66-2 G for George being dismantled at RAAF Fairbairn for insertion into the AWM.
The Lancaster flew as part of the Victory Loan tour in March and April of 1945 visiting airfields in the Eastern states and South Australia. It was accompanied by Beaufort A9-580 which was also allocated to the AWM but sadly wound up being scrapped. ![]() The CMP was a configuration used by the RAAF.
