The crew is:- Captain . . . . . Navigator . . . . . Wireless Operator . . . . . Engineer . . . . . [indecipherable letters] A/C Passenger . . . . . We are proud to have been entrusted with the job of taking you home, and we shall do all we can to make your journey safe; comfortable and interesting. Liberators are made in the U.S.A., have a wing span of 110 feet, and weigh nearly 30 tons when taking off on these journeys. Over 2000 gallons of petrol are carried, and this will take the aircraft more than 2000 miles. Your journey is about 1200 miles, and will take about 7 hours. Naturally, every aircraft has already flown the Atlantic when it was delivered. Whilst taxying before and after the flight, the fuselage will echo with the howl of electric motors driving fuel and hydraulic pumps, and spluttering of an auxiliary engine. There may also be a slight smell of petrol or exhaust fumes, and the brakes may cause the aircraft to lurch from side to side. But once airborne you will find everything quite smooth and not very noisy. We are sorry that from most of the seats it is not possible to see outside. Finally a few points to remember:- (i) The Captain is in sole charge, irrespective of rank. (ii) DEFINITELY NO SMOKING (iii) The aircraft is not a regular transport, and switches, cocks, control cables and wiring are exposed and within your reach. In almost every case tampering with them would be catastrophic. Remember what curiosity did to the cat; even if you feel sure that a certain tap might deliver a pint of beer, TOUCH NOTHING and don't let anybody else do so either. (iv) Take care that your kit and blankets do not fall into control cables etc. (v) In the "Bomb Bay" portion of the aircraft, which is fitted with wooden seats, you may walk only on the central "catwalk" and on the seats themselves, NOT on the metal floor. (vi) There is considerable acceleration during take off and decceleration [sic] when braking after landing. Brace yourselves in your seats so that you are not thrown against your neighbours. You will be told when the aircraft is about to land. (vii) Toilet arrangements are very makeshift and bear a striking resemblance to some old oil drums. As movement of passengers around the aircraft must be kept to a minimum, please do your best before getting aboard!! (viii) Take care of the equipment loaned to you, and hand Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The upper part contains tracer trails while, in the lower part, ground detail is visible but no features can be identified. The caption reads: 2829 104/90 8/9-APR-45. F8".//9.500'.→[redacted].

Page 6: Pair of target photograph but the image quality is poor and no details can be discerned in either. The captions indicate that Villach was the target for both, though the operations took place on different days. The last page of this collection is an information form for passengers being repatriated on 104 Sqn Liberator aircraft. It gives information on what to expect and rules to follow during the flight.
