Beautiful Betsy
Hidden away in the forest of the Kroombit Tops NP lies the wreckage of the WWII B-24D Liberator Bomber "Beautiful Betsy"
The wreckage is scattered over a wide area and, thankfully, has not been vandalised or stolen. So there is plenty to see and photograph. There are a number of interpretive signs alnog the way and I found the site quite facinating. Hope you enjoy 
All taken with Sigma 10-20 Zoom

Mark,
Once again, execellent shots and nice documentary series! If I have an opportunity to go up there, surely it's the place I love to visit. Birddog114

Mark - an excellent series of shots. Amazing how well preserved the bomber pieces appear to be.

Mark I think that the B&W treatment really suits this subject. Well done I like

They are well preserved cause I believe the wreck was only found recently..
It is well known, vandalism and theft will not be tolerated. Plenty do the trek, and this is a lovely series Slider. MATT

Just echoing others' sentiments here, Mark - an excellent photo essay. Great choice with the black and white and the compositions are terrific. I really love the prop shot. The angle adds considerable mood.
Good work mate. (Where are the macro shots??  )Simon

Thanks Guys. I found it quite eerie and somehow humbling to be wandering through the wreckage. Knowing that the people who perished there were fighting to keep our country free made the experience quite surreal. If you get the chance it is a must see.
