Hello,
Some days ago, while doing a Google search to answer a post on a forum, I found online the ORB of 463 and 467 Sqn. I gave the adress to the asker, who in turn gave a website where the ORB of 617 Sqn was also available.
So I started to wonder how many ORB I may read on the Web.
Below is the result of my research. I have used probably every possible combinaison (ORB, Operation Record Book, Operations Record Book, Form 540, Form 541) in Google and also did several searches in the Australian archives. For the latter, I only list the ORB that are already available in digital form.
Note: for all ORB in Australian archives, the direct link listed below won't work. You have first to connect to them. Go to the page
http://naa12.naa.gov.au/ and click on Guest, that will open a connexion for you, then all links listed below will show you the right document (to see i treally you have then to click on the "View digital copy" button)
So here is the list:
