I'd like some reference works, either books or websites about the Fleet Air
Arm of the Royal Australian Navy and their aircraft.
In particular I'm after colour schemes from about 1950 onwards and a list of
different types operated with dates.

Thanks,
Nick

Hopefully they'll help a bit.

G'day Nick. A good book on this (probably out of print) is "Wings Across the
Sea" by Ross Gillett, published by Aerospace Publications (Australia) in
1988, ISBN 0 9587978 0 3. Covers all RAN aviation from the beginning until
late 1980s, including service dates, serial numbers and disposals. They also
have books on selected individual types operated by the RAAF and RAN. Their
website is http://www.ausaviation.com.au/books/books.html - I can't see the
book there but you may be able to find it somewhere. Good hunting!
