    No it is an early Lockheed Neptune. If you look close enough on the nose it actually says Lockheed Stig

AL61A-342 Lockheed Y1C-12

  • Rob A. said:
    The Lockheed Y1C-12 was a single example of a DL-1 'Vega' that was purchased for evacuation by the USAAC during 1930. The aircraft was given the military serial umber 31-405. This aircraft was evaluated as a possible fast command transport, and flew 999 hours between 1931 and May 1935, when it was scrapped without any further orders for the basic transport being placed. However the Y1C-12 was significant as the first Lockheed designed aircraft to be purchased by the US military.

    I suspect these guys might be working on the motors from a Lockheed P-38 Lightning...the Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk/Warhawk had a very different air intake, etc...I'm guessing, but I suspect they're USAAF rather than RAAF...possibly the 49th Fighter Group...someone who knows about their operational history might be able to confirm this or add info re a possible location...they were briefly at Darwin in 1942...

    Pic 25 of this series shows a row of P-38's lined up...if you zoom in you can see the match-ups...

    covid convict I'll update with a ? on the P-38s for the moment. Thanks for helping out.

    Nice detail of a P-38 that looks like a good match - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_P-38_Lightning#/media/File...
    And see main article - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_P-38_Lightning

    I tend to agree with 'covid convict', the US 49th Fighter Group were equiped with the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk while stationed in Australia before moving to New Guinea in Oct 1942. In September 1944, the group was re-equipped completely with Lockheed P-38 Lightning aircraft, providing a possible date for the photo, and following the same train of thought, the location is likely to be Port Moresby. Although only a month later they were located to the Philippines - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/49th_Fighter_Group

    The other observation that may support covid convict's USAF ID is the head gear, Aussie aircraftsmen would probably be wearing the standard issue slouch hat not a baseball cap.

    All looks plausible - I will update the entry and thanks for the links.
