In November 1942, personnel from No. 450 Squadron RAAF captured a serviceable Henschel Hs 126 in the Libyan desert. Australian personnel repainted the aircraft with RAF roundels and the squadron code OK.
The captured Hs 126 was used mainly as a squadron hack aircraft for communications flights, local reconnaissance, and transport duties around North Africa. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/henschel-hs-126-captured-by-australia/ #aeroplane #450squadron #aircraft #airplane #aviation #henschelhs126 #RAAF #royalaustralianairforce #ww2 #WWII

I've never had much contact with my father's side of the family, so my paternal granddad (pictured) is particularly a mystery to me. I knew he was a maths teacher (and eventually high school principal), but I didn't know he had a BA and an MSc. Even before he enlisted, he'd spent four years as a civilian instructor for the #RAAF (air force) and army reserves. I knew he married a music teacher, but it turns out he also conducted the #ChartersTowers Municipal Choir and Orchestra. (2/3)

Two years I missed the RAAF flyover at the Brisbane march. Not because I wasn't there — because I was still searching for the jets when they'd passed. The lesson: choose your background first. Lock focus on the empty sky above a heritage roofline. When you hear the engines, don't search. Just shoot.

#auspol Address to the nation? Thought it would be important not some commonsense options we had worked out for ourselves.
What an utter waste of time.

At least he didn't send any *more #RAAF or #ADF to #UAE or another locality in #US and #Israel's multiple warzones.

* From The Conversation of 10 March 2026
'The Albanese government has decided to send a RAAF E-7A Wedgetail surveillance aircraft to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), along with 85 personnel and a supply of air-to-air missiles capable of shooting down drones.'
