You'll need to watch the vudeeo (Video in Kiwese) to see it in this news story of the remake by Peter Jackson of the Dambusters. Intriguing.

The story about remake of the Dam Buster movie was interesting. But I also enjoyed just browsing around the rest of the site, little bit like the old days of listening to shortwave to get a news perspective from other places.

Cheers Phil

Hi things_green,

Thanks for sharing your father´s images. Interesting to see the "door art"!

What unit was you father serving in?

Thanks,
Hanno

This image appeared on the Allied Forum, posted by Radak, but I thought we should see it on MLU !. no it's not the Bike or the Kubel, it's the CMP 3 tonner in the background

Jeep assembly in the UK? Note the CMP trucks in the background.

Wonder where that was taken? RA Brand, Manchester?

Very interesting pictures of the artwork on the trucks' doors, things-green. More than one "expert" has told me that one never saw names or artwork on other than AFV's in WWII.

CHIMO! Derek.

Gents:

Found this on an aviation website! Consensus so far is that it was taken at Labuan, North Borneo. Any thoughts on the tail marking on the P-40N (RAAF)?

Al,
I believe that this is the "Frill Neck Lizard" which was the informal squadron insignia of the 3rd Squadron. This squadron was based in the Mediterranean Theatre as part of the Allied Desert Air Force. (later the First Tactical Air Force), supporting the 8th Army.

Regards,
Jim

Jim:

I would have to go with North Borneo. Note the SEAC markings on the upper wing and fuselage. Conjecture is that it is an a/c of either 4 or 76 Sqn RAAF. Upon closer examination, the tail marking would appear to be some type of mythical bird. The part above the head would be the starboard wing of the bird and the tail is clearly visible just below the small black horizontal line on the tailfin. It's not a "side on profile" it appears to be more of a 3/4 side view of the beast.
