New Photos ...

World War 1 prangs

These first 5 photos of RE8 aircraft were taken in 1917 at Training Aerodromes in the United Kingdom. The fate of the pilots and observers is unknown.

Is it possible that aerial photography in 1918

was sufficiently advanced to capture these?

World War 2

Post-war Album

This tranquil garden at St Philip's College in Alice Springs, Central Australia, is a dedication to, and commemorates the life of, our beloved Rev Fred McKay who died on 31 March 2000. By its very name, it pays deserved tribute to his extraordinary wife , Meg who, with Fred, achieved so much by selfless sacrifice to help others ... something Meg continues to do to this very day. Fred was one of the three padres who served the Squadron during WW2 (see below).

Here's an oldie but a goodie ... taken about the 1960s ... some of the NSW Association members
