Following on from the earlier thread on HMS Pioneer and the dumping of aircraft off the coast of Australia, I’ve just been lent a few more images to share with you.
They are from the effects of JX592877 AM/A Raymond Preece, Fleet Air Arm. I presume AM/A is air Mechanic/Airframe. He seems to have had a good time in that part of the world as one photo has a shopping list on the back including Nivea sun treatments.
Thanks to everyone who replied to the last thread, especially Mark 12 who is a mine of information.
Hope you enjoy these.
Regards,

You don’t have to attach them in order for them to show up, you can simply use the img button and insert the webspace address:
ie (remove spaces)
[ img]h tt p://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/WIX/images/jb-dumping-1.jpg[ /img]
will do this:
This is cheaper for the forum host, and just as effective.
Note that some webspace hosts don’t allow you to do this, but yours does.

Is this a battle damaged Avenger going over the side?

AM/A Preece on the left with colleagues in front of a Corsair.

Wonder what the ships are moored in the foreground? Aircraft on deck appear to be Avenger, Corsair and Barracuda.
