Summary[edit]

Description Kiriwina, Trobriand Islands, Papua. November 1943: Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vc No. A58-137, code UP-T (RAF EE835) with No. 79 Squadron RAAF taxiing on the airfield with a 90 gallon auxiliary fuel drop tank, and with an airman on the mainplane to guide the pilot in accordance with No. 73 Wing Standing Orders. "UP-T" was the personal aircraft of 407174 Flight Lieutenant D. H. (David) Hopton, a Flight Commander.
