a very good read is “Sepik Pilot” biography about Wing Commander Bobby Gibbes, D.S.O., D.F.C time in New Guinea and his airline with 3 JU52’s , he was a amazing individual and sadly missed

That ‘Darwin’ shot was taken at Piva, Bougainville.

The same photo appears on Pacific Wrecks here
http://www.pacificwrecks.com/airfields/png/piva_yoke/1945/rnzaf-f4u-piva.html

I reckon the other shot in post #1 is also likely to be Piva.

I know my Grandfather was on Bougainville , so that may very well be where the corsair and Ventura where photographed 🙂

Grizzly, I have never heard of RNZAF Corsairs at Darwin or anywhere else in Australia, I’d really be interested in seeing that photo. They’re not Royal Navy British Pacific Fleet Corsairs, are they?

here you go ,

I came across this pic also , so maybe they transited through Darwin ?

thanks Guys , very interesting 🙂

just reading a old Flightpath magazine (Vol17 number 3 page 59) it has a picture of 8 NZ corsairs at Darwin , the background looks simlar so possibly it was taken there ,

fittingly another corsair is getting close to flight at Darwin
