I had a RAAF figure of 701 units used in Australia from 1941-1946 so there would not have been many in front of it.
In front of -141, the one being restored to fly, Geoff? Hadn't thought of it like that. Good point! I think she's got bits from quite a few other Beauforts (20 or so) as well so she carries a lot of memories.
Sorry Andy. 701 Aircraft. There would not have been many more aircraft The RAAF would have used in such numbers over such a short period 1941-1946
