Thanks for posting.....

My comments/observations......

The myth that all WW2 soldiers were small guys is questionable when you see the arms/shoulders of some of those guys..... certainly was not the first runway they set up.....

Tried count the numbers of fingers crushed buyt noticed they used some form of hooks to move them then followed by the clipping crew....

The ubiquitous officer walking around with the pith hat and sucking on his pipe.

Must have been hell in the Southern Sun...even with the hot breeze blowing from the ocean......

they were lucky to have a soft sandy base to work from.......

It must have been some sort of plantation as the airshots shows the trees in neat rows....

No wonder they left them behind after the war......
