Malady

There maybe some that will find this of interest.

There are nothing that stands out as good shots here, but here goes.

Last weekend I ended up at Wagait beach, the other side of Darwin harbour, and I stumbled across Malady. This is the wreckage of a B-24 that was based with the 380th bomb group at RAAF Darwin. This aircraft crashed on the 17th of January 1945 on a practice bombing mission killing the skeleton crew of five. The aircraft has been exposed the tropic's weather since then. Most of the aircraft has been removed, but sections remain.
