                        In this hemisphere aircraft roll to a takeoff. Are we to take it that down there they run until they get airborne?
                        Just asking.

                        That T-6s older brother is a training airplane and it certainly appears the pilot needs some training in when to raise the landing gear handle. Caption? Timing is everything!

                        I would assume that they had a new Commanding Officer very shortly after that and that one "hot shot" pilot was on his way to the "Eastern Front"

                        No the CO stayed. The Wirraway was getting a bit old by then and the boggied up the report to make it landing gear malfunction.
                        I think that the pilot went on to be, at least, an Air Comodore.

                        Thanks for the captions, the aircraft is a Wirraway, the pilot is not Archer, who did shoot down a Zero in a similar machine, this particular pilot[who's name escapes me], was renound for this type of take off, in Beaufighter's when flying with 30 Sqn RAAF.
