The aircraft was on strength of 30 Squadron as of 3/10/44.

It was involved in a ground loop and I will get some details which will date the photo as the aircraft was removed from service after that incident

Regards

OK the photo was taken at Wama airfield at Morotai.

As the airplane was converted to parts on 22/12/44 that is likely the date of the photo.

By the way the RAAF was still using FWD's until the late 50's, mainly in the airfield constructionn squadrons, air force was very fond of them.
