A photograph, taken on the ground, of a trainee bomb aimer in the nose of an Anson training aircraft. Bombing and Air Gunnery Schools were established at Evans Head in NSW, West Sale in Victoria and Port Pirie in South Australia. Lawrence Woods, who flew as a bomb aimer in Lancasters with No. 460 Squadron RAAF, remembers getting airsick lying on the floor when training in Australia: ' … all the glycol fumes came out of the motors came out of an exhaust just in front of the hatchway and of course it was sucked up through the hatchway and out the back. That was my first bout of airsickness, from these fumes'. [Lawrence Woods, interview, Australians at War Film Archive; AWM 014358]
