at the end of WW2 at Tocumwal RAAF base... hundreds of aircraft were chopped up and melted down as scrap ...this Liberator bomber is a reminder of those amazing flying machines...
this plane is quarter scale and displayed on a large pole outside the golf club...i had to remove the pole in the shot by a bit of halloween trickery and give it a b and w vintage feel....
Thanks for the memories again John. You seem to find photos that bring back great memories! My dad was a mechanic in the Air Force and based in Darwin & PNG. I have his photo album full of many aircrafts that he serviced and crashed ones too! I'm sure there will be one like this :)
@gilbertwood ..great you have your dads album Denise...i have come clean about how i got this shot in the description ...on my bike as usual and about 50 ft from the plane on the pole....cheers
Thanks for the info - i did wonder how you got it!! There is a plane on a pole in a shopping centre near my son's place. I often think I should take a photo but the grand kids win out - maybe next time!! Great shot still :) @tellefella
