A new look at the day World War II came to Broome, Australia.

Thanks for posting that, Mark.
Lest we forget, indeed.

I think there’s a C-Class or two there as well

I saw a doco about some guys who dived where the Dorniers sank, was amazingly treacherous with currents, minimal visibility etc. And being tropical salt water, the was ******all left.

Interesting set of photos. I think I’m right in saying the Catalinas/Dorniers are a dive spot.

Some relics of the attack beneath the tail of the Cat at the Bull Creek museum, Perth.
