Absolutely right, rely on your bones! I used to do that in wrestling sometimes to ‘cheat’ when we had to do the same.

Oh man, that takes me back.
Defending the Logan River valley as the ‘Musorian’ 911 Motor Rifle Regt advanced towards Brisbane was a staple of numerous Command Post TEWTs I did as part of my Int training.
Footnotes:
1. A TEWT or Tactical Exercise Without Troops was conducted in the field so you could observe the actual terrain but all the supporting forces and enemy were ‘pretend’. Commonly, and more frequently, referred to as a PENIS (Practical Exercise Not Involving Soldiers)… because you knew that you were going to get dicked around by the Directing Staff.
2. Musorian. Refers to the Musorian Armed Forces, a fictitious notional training enemy used by the Australian Army for training purposes between 1980 and 2018. The doctrine, introduced in 1980 as MLW 3-2-2, depicted a country named Musoria and its military forces, incorporating a mix of Soviet and CHICOM tactics. This training adversary was replaced by the Decisive Action Training Environment (DATE) in 2018

When Tirpitz was attacked here in Tromsø, she defended herself with AAA. They say the ground was littered with shrapnel from the airbursts and kids ran around collecting it.

Usually anytime I get close to Pinterest I end up losing hours for absolutely zero reward- but today I got sent this…
Seems to be the inside of a British medium/heavy bomber.
And I love it.

The Basket Weave Bomber, Vickers Wellington?

Almost certainly a Wellington - the related Warwick and Windsor didn’t have flexible side gun mounts IIRC.
Though if this is a period photo I suspect the AI recolouring has done its usual bad guessing - the structure on the Wellington was a type of aviation aluminium (maybe duralumin or something similar?) not wood.

The short and socks combo along with the life jackets, I think indicate some kind of lower level naval patrol.

Wellington was widely used by Coastal Command - but perhaps the North Africa campaign?

The signal lamp as well…
I don’t think Wellingtons were ever used in the Pacific theatre (and the RAAF used Liberators for maritime patrol), so I’m guessing the Med/North Africa?
