Air Force and RAAF News on Trove

[RooFlyer]

Might interest the likes of @jb747 and @straitman at least.

From Trove newsletter

In celebration of their centenary in 2020, the Australian Air Force Association digitised Air Force News (1997-2020) and its previously titled RAAF News (1941, 1960-1997).
But if that wasn’t enough, they have also kindly made current issues of their contemporary Wings Magazine freely available to read in Trove!

I don’t browse Trove ( I search), so can’t easily direct you there but if you go here

Trove

Australia’s free online research portal. Trove is a collaboration between the National Library of Australia and hundreds of Partner organisations around Australia.

And out the journal name in “Titles and Places” It’ll bring some things up. If you select an article, then at the top you should be able to navigate backwards to browse.

Apologies, I’m on my phone and on the cycle machine at the gym. Will post better instructions later.

I assume we don't have to buy more cartons for this right?

And I found a photo from an Air Training Corps camp at Laverton I was on, many years ago

It might not have been a thing when you were in.

If you get your photo in RAAF news you have to buy a carton (of beer).

Ah, thanks. I was never 'in'. Just a user of Trove
