Karl,
Thanks for more fascinating stuff on Corregidor. The "dope shed" was most probably used to store "dope", the resin used to tighten the fabric used to cover aircraft structures in the "old days".

Interesting stuff K-W. Strange that the scrappers haven't "done" the culvert!

Hi Rick,
As I mentioned earlier, the aircraft pushed off the runway of Kindley Field is definitely a Bellanca "Skyrocket". Google "Bellanca" and you will see the distinctive boxy fuselage and rudder with rounded tip. I am almost certain that the burnt-out wreck is a Douglas O-46.
Regards,
Fortman

Wow!Nailed all right.
Question: Was the radar to pick up ships or aircraft?

I had a look at photos of Monja shown a few years ago in this site (probably taken by Fots or Karl). There is a photo of a tunnel with a circular-arch ceiling, not a "cathedral" shape, so the captions could be correct.

Great photos as usual. Could the concrete columns have been used along the road as posts? The notches could then have accommodated cables stretched between the columns as protective railings.
Regards,

It is almost creepy to watch the home movie of children, gardens, family life; all so ordinary, knowing what would become of this place a few years later.

Very interesting! As far as I know, the only casemated 155mm GPF on Corregidor was in Monja, so this photo seems to fit the bill.
