under camouflage netting at Townsville. It is likely that this image was
taken not long after 27 July 1942 when the Squadron moved from Brisbane
to Townsville. On 13 August 1942, Lt. Paul Staller departed Townsville
at 1045 hours in this aircraft for Port Moresby via Horn Island. He departed
Horn Island at 1700 hours but failed to arrive in Port Moresby and was
subsequently declared missing in action. This was the Squadron's first
loss. Photo: via Bob Rocker |
