Lae PNG workshops

[Lang]

Here is a selection of photos of Lae.

In the second photo the Tenyo Maru "the pilot's wet weather friend" can be seen sticking out at the end of the strip. For the Australians, Salamaua can be seen on the horizon on the extreme left of the photo.

Interesting that the staff cars have kept all their chrome!

Ford V8 stockpile - they probably only needed 2 spare engines for the Chevrolet half of the CMP fleet.

More Lae Photos

In the 4th photo American engineers lay steel track for the Australian 9th Division vehicles landing up the coast for the attack on Lae.

Don't worry about the paint, just get them on board.

I have a print of that No8 CGT, they're servicing it - looks like an oil change in progress.
