Info needed: correct colours for WWII Aust vehicles

[Mrs Vampire]

fair question Mike.

The links to search results often dont work

if you go to http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/search/

or Google National archives of Australia search the collection you will see a litle blue link called "Record Search "

click on that and it will take you to the green page with six tabs. Basic Search " , "advanced search " "name search "photo search" "passenger arrival index " and "Help"

click on advanced search
Then a rectangular box comes up with seven other rectangles in it. Click on the bottom one that says "Items"

Then a series of fill in boxes appear with labels next to them. Find the one that says "Item bar code"

enter the bar-code and go down to the bottom of the page and click on "search"
That will take you to the "Item Details" listing.

If you look up in the right hand end of the light green bar that starts with the file number ( MP508/1 etc.. ) you will see a PDF symbol and a "view digital copy" tiny square page looking thing .

Click on the PDF for a pdf file you can save to memory stick or print out or click on view digital copy. The digital copy is one page at a time and quite tedious to copy each page individual.

For full search of the file then back on the page with the fifteen selection boxes type the series number in the box that say series number ...in thios case MP508/1 and type in the control number in the box that asks for that in this case 305/733/244

Both methods will get you there .

Lets know how you fare
