Hi,

I've been browsing the NAA website ( https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/SearchScreens/AdvSearchAll.aspx )
Many references are available, but not always digitalized.
Here is a list of docs you can download in pdf format :

Enjoy,

Very Nice Find!
However most of the interesting stuff (such as Cluster projectiles and Rocket missiles in this list) is "Open under Restriction" Meaning that one cannot access it without first having to 'negotiate" authorization with the National Archives Staff. A pity....
 
Indeed it works using the direct link! This is very strange. Replacing the number of the record I want to download in the direct link does the trick. Thanks!
