In the period 3–10 May, unit aircraft combined with others in attacks on enemy positions in support of the Army advance and capture of Wewak. The Commanding Officer, Squadron Leader B.M. Palmer, was injured on 29 May 1945 when he trod on an old American anti-personnel mine.

A fortnight earlier a few Japanese tanks had been located. A New Zealand Corsair pilot reported having seen enemy tanks at Rurl Bay in the north-east of the Island. Squadron Leader B.M.H. Palmer, commanding No 5 Squadron RAAF led other Corsairs to the target and guided them while they attacked three tanks, all of which they damaged. As a result of this and a later attack two were destroyed but the third was evidently moved away.
