  Is it possible to read the next to last digit? I think this is 122581 but am a bit uncertain Stig

  Snap! (well almost!) - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/18059458 So it must have been Friday 30 January 1948.

  I have no idea about the planes, but the RAAF bombed the VALLEY FORGE the following week - Read All About It - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/49644119 . Mention of Mustangs in the article, but they might have been Australian.
