Sorry about size of pictures. TIA Michael These are LP-2J Neptunes operated by Antarctic Development Squadron Six (VXE-6). Image 1536 also shows a C-54Q and C-121J operated by the same folks. More on VXE-6 - http://www.vaq34.com/vxe6/vxe6aircraft.htm Neat stuff! Bob ^,,^ Thanks Bob, Thats exactly what they will be. They were taken at Harewood Airport, (Now Christchurch International Airport) Christchurch, New Zealand probably in the late 50's early 60's. Operation Deep Freeze ran from that field. A friend sent them to me along with some pictures of a Connie and a couple of Globemasters. I might see if I can get the originals off him and clean them up and do some new scans Michael Heavens, OOps again. Having had another look at the photos, they do seem to have been taken at Wigram Airbase as the VXE-6 site says thats where they were based. Christchurch had two airfields in those days. Wigram, which was the Airforce base and Harewood which is still the commercial base. The Airforce base has been closed and sold off but there is still some of the hangars there and an Airforce Museum. Harewood used to also house Deep Freeze in the late 60's and 70's and I remember there was a large Hangar which could be seen from the road with VX-6 or VXE-6 painted in huge letters on the end. Deep Freeze was a combined Naval/Air Force thing. Damn, how did I get into all this :-) Michael .................................................. ...............

If you get the original slides and clean them up, would love to see a high-rez version of the both the Herc and the C-133. can,t read the serial numbers in the ones you already put up.. Thanks... |
