Rodger Kelly's Photos 5-8

Photos 5, 6,and 7 are of the Aircraft at Alexishafen a Ki 49 Helen if my recognition is right. These phots illustrate how difficult it is to get a reasonable photograph under jungle canopy. Unbeknownst to me was the fact that there was a Ki 43 only 30 metres from where I took the photos and I didn't even see it, that is how thick the jungle is!

Photo 8

Photo 8 was taken at the Port Moresby aviation and maratime Museum and shows the rear fuselage of a Ki 43. This place is an Aladin's cave of relics, all of it out in the weather and unidentified to the casual observer.
