Nice shots. Any idea how many spares were carried? I did a quick Google and most just said "spares were carried" and one site had 2 idiots arguing about carrier capacity

I think the carriers had a few spares that were not assigned to any squadron. I dont know if they were torn down and needed assembly though.

From the bits I did read, the wings needed to be attached, as seen in the bottom photo. This required a few hours. I see 7 in the photo, 3 seem to be the Devastator if the "3-T-3" is also a Devastator

War of mines in the Lybian desert.

Are they "planting" a mine here, or have they discovered one and are about to dig it out of what looks to be sand-if so, must be the war theater in Africa.

And why does it take 3 men? Probably a staged pic.

The first victims of the gas "Zyklon B" were 600 Soviet POWs and 250 ill prisoners in German Concentration Camp Auschwitz- September 1941.

If I can borrow a line from "Die Hard": where Bruce Willis and a uniformed patrolman view the damaged building--"Wow, its gonna take a whole schmidt-load of window screens and duct tape to fix this one up!"
