AWM caption : East Coast, NSW. 1944-04-11. Aerial photograph of Royal Netherlands Navy submarine HNMS KVIII taken by 427838 Pilot Officer J.H.D. (Harold) Venning, Navigator, aboard a No. 73 Squadron RAAF Anson aircraft during practice submarine trials off the coast of NSW. Note the members of the submarine's crew manning the conning tower as the submarine cruises along the surface of the sea. Comment : K VIII was scrapped after escaping to Fremantle in 1942 so this is unlikely to be K VIII.
