Thanks for the suggestions. I need a shot showing the front of the wheel wells, specifically the area in front of where the gear strut sits when retracted. I've got pretty good shots of every other angle.

Incidentally, I saw the Boomerang at Temora before Matt Denning let them have it, as in 2003 I found it at the Oakey Army Air Museum, where Matt was keeping it at the time. I was fortunate in that Matt happened to be the doing some servicing that morning, and let me wander around taking any photo's I wished, and even offered to let me sit in the cockpit! Very special moment for me! Of course, it would have made my life easier now if I had known then the photo's I would need later!!!!

EDIT--this might also help, not sure if you will even be able to access this link, but it does work for me.

I'm able to access both URLs as well. Not sure why you're having issues on your end. Maybe your internet service has a flaw, or something is being blocked on either your router or in your broswer settings. Wierd stuff happens all the time with this internet technology. Good Luck in finding what you're looking for!

Hi, 

 

Not sure what details youre looking to get photos of, but this might help....

 

https://aviationmuseum.com.au/ca-13-boomerang-album/

They have several photos of their Boomerang there, and also you can email them at the bottom of the page, they might be able to help you if you needed additional detail.  Their Boomerang is a -13 too, so it should have what you're looking for.  

 

EDIT--this might also help, not sure if you will even be able to access this link, but it does work for me.

I have finally dived into my 1/48 CA-13 Boomerang and was trying to find one or two photo's of specific details. When Matt Denning was restoring his Boomerang he had a website with catalogues of photo's of every detail of the restoration, but when I finally find it again, that web address for some strange reason now seems to be a Chinese (?) website either for classy wine, or classy ladies! I'm not sure which, I can't read Chinese! So I go to the website for Combat Aircraft Constructions, who restore Boomerangs, and who sometimes have open days where I could perhaps get my own photo's, but when I went to their contact page to get an email and an address, I get nothing but a 404 Error!!!! Not happy!
