| 15MAY44 | Lightnings 41-2217 and 41-2156 arrived at Amberley but were rejected by the RAAF owing to their poor condition. The third Lightning force landed at Rockhampton but its identity is unknown. So, although 41-2139 was allotted to the RAAF, it may not have been delivered. Evidently 41-2156 was substituted for either 41-2139 or 41-2130.(Source: NAA Series A11093 Item 3081559) |
