Japanese Airfields, Equipment & more #21 - revised

Stuff #2
IJNAF airfields and aircraft.

Boxes and other equipment under tarps with the flight crew and the mechanics waiting under the shade of the wing. Note the transport "Betty" in the background.

"Riyaka" on the left, maintenance platform in the middle of this "Nell" photo and a "Claude" (?) drop tank?

A bucket on the starboard wing of this "Gekko", a panel on the ground and a watering can.

A spare drop tank and a bicycle on the side of this Kawanishi "Shiden".

Many many interesting things are lying on the ground in front of these A6M2s. A changed propeller and spinner tip, boxes of various sizes and buckets, a watering can, tarps and of course "riyaka" in the background.

The mechanic in the photo is picking tools from the special toolbox for the Zero-sen "Sakae" engine. But note also the removed aircraft parts on the left and the box on the right.

Again, note the "Sakae" engine special toolbox, but also, the maintenance platform, the barrel and the buckets, in this interesting "Babs" photo.
