On 5 March 1942 the 34 Squadron RAAF drove to Daly Waters airfield in the Northern Territory, about 600 km south of Darwin, where they established their Headquarters in a tent. The Squadron had been hurriedly formed at Darwin Civilian airfield at Parap in the Northern Territory on 23 February 1942, four days after the first Japanese air raids on Darwin on 19 February 1942. It initially comprised two officers, four airmen and two DH-84 Dragon aircraft. The aircraft was initially used to transport freight and Japanese prisoners. Flight Lieutenant J.W. Warwick was the first acting Commanding Officer of the unit.

Love the Scottie feature! Very true comments on the nature of the breed.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see the Sealyham and Dandy Dinmonts as trendy -- not so anymore, alas.
True, and they were so sweet!
