Not something you see every day, but this B-24 Liberator, "Belle of Texas" of the 7th Air Force, has had its brakes destroyed by Japanese fighter attack. Here on Tarawa, it makes an emergency landing using three parachutes to provide sufficient drag to stop it in time.

The remains of an RAAF crew missing since 1943, have been recovered from a wreck off PNG. The Beaufort aircraft from 100Sqn, went missing south of Gasmata just over years ago. Read the full story at ABC news here: abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…
A big day for the Museum with delegates from the 10th Heads of Missions Meeting, visiting the museum. Those in attendance included the Japanese and Chinese Ambassadors, Acting French Ambassador and High Commissioners from Australia, New Zealand, Britain and Fiji.
