点评:The Fairey Firefly memorial was dedicated on the 26th of April 1969 by Royal Australian Navy Commander A.H. Gordon.
The Fairey Firefly was considered an ideal memorial piece considering that the planes in question were ideal reconnaissance/strike aircraft due to being sufficiently fast, manoeuvrable and armed well enough to give a good account when attacked. They were also able to carry a good load of rockets or bombs and had both a reasonable endurance and range. Finally, they were also good-lookers with clean, unfussy lines and pleasant handling characteristics just like the Fulmar aircraft that preceded them.
So it talks the good talk...but what is it really all about? A gentleman called Charlie Beltrame felt that Griffith needed a memorial as it was part of the soldier settlement scheme. The memorial is to commemorate the men who flew in WW2.
翻译:Fairey Firefly 纪念碑于 1969 年 4 月 26 日由澳大利亚皇家海军司令 A.H. Gordon 落成。
Fairey Firefly 被认为是理想的纪念品,考虑到所讨论的飞机是理想的侦察/攻击机,因为速度足够快、机动性好且装备精良,可以在受到攻击时提供良好的评价。他们还能够携带大量火箭或炸弹,并且具有合理的续航力和射程。最后,它们的外观也很漂亮,线条简洁、简洁,操纵特性令人愉悦,就像它们之前的 Fulmar 飞机一样。
所以它说的是好话……但它到底是关于什么的?一位名叫查理·贝尔特拉姆 (Charlie Beltrame) 的绅士认为格里菲斯需要一座纪念碑,因为这是士兵安置计划的一部分。纪念馆是为了纪念在二战中飞行的人。
