452 Sqn. Spitfires. Photos from the collection of LAC Vic Callaghan provided by his son Greig. Callaghan was a rigger for Flt. Lt. Hall and PO Goldsmith's Spitfires in the Darwin area, from 1943 onwards and took a number of photos with a small camera.

Greig reports. "My father was LAC Vic Callaghan who appears to have been the rigger for Flt. Lt. Hall and PO Goldsmith's Spitfires."
