[1] Other sources place the figure as much higher, even up to 1000, and a memorial plaque on the Darwin Esplanade overlooking the harbour says 292 people were killed.

ABC TV News on 28 February 2010 carried an item saying that the Darwin City Council has commissioned naval historian John Bradford to determine the truth on how many died.

[2] The museum was begun out of the wreckage of East Point fortifications in the 1960s by the RAAA (NT), specifically by fencing off an area around the 9.2-inch gun Command Post.

The Northern Territory Government and the Royal Australian Artillery Association (NT) Inc have worked in collaboration towards an improved site since 2008.

Since mid-2009 the RAAA has outlaid approximately $A250,000 on improvements to the site and its collection, including reorienting the focus of the museum towards the 1942 raids, while taking in all Northern Australian defence.
