This was sent to me by a mate who is also a bit of a history buff.

If you go here -- https://maps.six.nsw.gov.au/ -- you can compare Sydney in 1943 with now

Thanks for that, will need to check it out on the big computer as it does not like Safari on the iPad.

I tried that Ian. Seems all I get are fixed maps. Is there something I've missed?

in the top right hand corner is a button labeled "Base maps"
Click on the button and select the 1943 maps -- then play with the slider

The 1943 maps cover Sydney east of about Blacktown
