B-24 Bomber Relics
These are the photos of the aircraft graveyard
unfortunately they where taken strait after the wet season and the spear
grass is very high. The first photo is of me and my younger brother
I'm am the one in the yellow hat, I think this is a side waist gunners
position. When I was there a few years ago there was still abit of paint
on it and the American star was just visible but that might have been
a different piece. The second picture is of my dad Garry and I haven't
been able to identify these bits. The Third bit is off a tail section
of a B24 it is upside down and inside has very faint stenciled instructions
and warnings in red. there is still some aileron that is still moveable.
US Dog Tag - Do you know "Harold C. Johnson"?
I have had the Dog Tag for a number of years and have
tried to locate the owner but have unfortunately failed to find him
as i could not get hold of any good lists of possible leads and those
which i followed have turned up no new leads. I actually found the Dog
Tag while with my father who took my brother and I down to the fenton
airstrip one more than one occasion to look for relics of the era. But
as you would probably know that more of these precious items of history
have already been lost. but I was walking down from the main hill at
the actual base camp were the main officers area was and got to the
bottom of the hill and just started to look at the ground and started
to search the area and saw this glint of metal and looked down and pulled
it out of the ground and only them realized what I had found. Email
me at: be contacted on my other email Nichloas
