Bristol Beaufort Mk.V early
=====================================
Medium Bomber PTO.
Unit: 100 Sqn. RAAF.
Serial: A9-432
Code: T-JM
Milne Bay,
New Guinea.
March 1943.
No. 100 Squadron was formed at RAAF Base Richmond on 15 February 1942. The Squadron was formed from a nucleus of No. 100 Squadron RAF, which had been destroyed during the Malayan Campaign, and was named in this Squadron's honour. Despite this link No. 100 Squadron RAAF was an Australian squadron throughout its existence and should not be confused with its British namesake, which was reformed as a heavy bomber squadron in Britain on 15 December 1942.
Flying from bases in Queensland and staging through Port Moresby, No. 100 Squadron flew its first combat missions in June 1942, making it the first of the RAAF's Beaufort bomber equipped squadrons to see combat. After completing its training the Squadron deployed to Milne Bay in New Guinea in October 1942.
In October 1942, while participating in a training exercise off the coast of Townsville, Beaufort A9-26 of the No. 100 Squadron struck the mast of the wrecked SS City of Adelaide in Cockle Bay, Magnetic Island. The aircraft plunged into the shallow water below and the fuselage disintegrated on impact killing three RAAF officers and one US Navy Officer aboard.
Flying from bases in eastern New Guinea No. 100 Squadron flew reconnaissance patrols and anti shipping and bombing missions against the Japanese in the Solomon Islands and New Guinea mainland. While the squadron participated in the Battle of the Bismarck Sea it was not successful in sinking any ships in this battle and operated solely in the level bombing role from March 1943.
As a level bomber squadron No. 100 Squadron conducted bombing missions against Japanese facilities throughout New Guinea and surrounding islands, including the key base at Rabaul. The Squadron continued in this role until the end of the war and was disbanded at Finschafen on 19 August 1946.
Bristol Beaufort Mk.V-A
=====================================
Torpedo Bomber PTO.
Unit: 15 Sqn. RAAF
Serial: A9-500
Code: W-DD
Middleburg Is,
New Guinea.
Sept, 1944.
No. 15 Squadron was formed at Camden, New South Wales on 27 January 1944. The squadron was issued with 19 Bristol Beaufort light bombers and 380 air and ground crew, and had the roles of conducting anti submarine patrols off the full length of the Australian east coast as well as supporting Australian Army and Royal Australian Navy operations and conducting photo reconnaissance. The unit's headquarters moved to nearby Menangle, New South Wales in late February, but returned to Camden in May.
In July 1944, No. 15 Squadron began preparations to deploy to New Guinea. An advance party departed on 21 July, but elements of the squadron remained in Australia where they continued to undertake anti submarine patrols until the end of the war. On 25 December 1944 No. 15 Squadron Beauforts located the damaged liberty ship Robert S. Walker and her surviving crew shortly after the ship was torpedoed by the German submarine U-862 off Moruya. The liberty ship subsequently sank.
No. 15 Squadron gradually moved to New Guinea between September 1944 and March 1945, and its headquarters was relocated to Madang Airfield at Madang on 20 March 1945. A detachment was established at Middleburg Airfield off the north-west tip of New Guinea shortly afterwards. The squadron's roles in New Guinea were to conduct anti submarine and anti barge patrols and attack Japanese ground positions. In addition, it also conducted photo reconnaissance sorties, and carried mail and other supplies. As at late April 1945, No. 15 Squadron's headquarters was located at Madang and it had operational detachments at Middleburg, Cairns and Townsville and a rear echelon at Camden.
From 4 to 11 May 1945, a detachment of eight No. 15 Squadron aircraft was assigned to No. 71 Wing and supported the Australian Army forces engaged in the Aitape Wewak campaign alongside other Beaufort equipped RAAF squadrons. These aircraft operated from Tadji Airfield at Aitape. The aircraft bombed Japanese positions throughout the region, and mounted an intensive effort on 11 May to support the landing at Dove Bay. No. 71 Wing's operations were successful, though they were hampered by a continual shortage of bombs. From June many of the squadron's operations from Madang were conducted in conjunction with the P-40 Kittyhawk equipped No. 120 (Netherlands East Indies) Squadron.
Bristol Beaufort Mk.V-A
=====================================
Medium Bomber PTO.
Unit: 7 Sqn. RAAF.
Serial: A9-397
Code: M-KT
Tadji airfield,
Aitape, New Guinea.
October 1944.
7 Squadron was formed at Laverton on 27 June 1940. Squadron Leader E.D. Scott was the Commanding Officer. The Squadron was originally meant to be supplied with Lockheed Hudson however due to a mix up none were allocated and the Squadron went into limbo for a while, with some personnel posted elsewhere or attached temporarily to 2 Squadron.
7 Squadron reformed on 27 January 1942 initially as an operational training unit. This time they received their Hudsons. The Squadron also participated in a few anti submarine patrols and convoy escorts.
On 7 April 1942 the squadron relocated to Bairnsdale with one flight from the Squadron based at Mallacoota.
A few weeks later the squadron saw its first operational encounter when on 4 June 1942 Flight Lieutenant C. Williams attacked a Japanese submarine. Williams reported possible damage to the submarine.
1 OTU moved to Bairnsdale later in June 1942 where they absorbed most of 7 Squadron. The remainder moved to Nowra in August 1942 where they completed their conversion training to Beauforts in October 1942.
7 Squadron RAAF moved to Ross River airfield from Nowra on 6 November 1942. While in the Townsville area they flew their Beaufort bombers on seaward convoy and anti submarine patrols. On 15 December 1942 Flying Officer Whitshaw caught a surfaced Japanese submarine and inflicted some possible damage. On 5 other occasions the Beauforts of 7 Squadron detected Japanese Jake float planes on their radars and were successful in shooting down 2 Jakes and damaging the others.
Some Beauforts from 7 Squadron were located at Cooktown from 6 November 1942 until 18 November 1943.
7 Squadron was based at Ross River airfield from 11 November 1942 until January 1943 and then at Townsville, from January 1943 until March 1944.
7 Squadron moved a detachment of Beauforts to Horn Island for about six months in about January 1943 where they conducted maritime and anti-submarine patrols. On 27 January 1943, during a routine operational flight, known as the 'P' 'Milk Run' patrol, F/Sgt Len Gairns spotted a white man with a long beard waving furiously from the beach on the northern tip of Wessel Island. The man wrote a message in the sand to identify he was from the HMAS Patricia Cam. F/Sgt Gairns then dropped a message, and the man then drew an arrow on the sand pointing to the rest of the survivors. HMAS Patricia Cam had been bombed and sunk by a Japanese floatplane on 22 January 1943.
In September 1943 Flying Officer Legge shot down a Japanese Jake. The squadron moved from Horn Island airfield to Higgins airfield (Jack Jacky) on 26 March 1944. They then moved on to Tadji in New Guinea on about 25 October 1944 under the command of Squadron Leader J.O. Barton. In Tadji they made many attacks against Japanese positions in support of Australian troops plus a number of supply drop missions.
7 Squadron was disbanded on 19 December 1945.
