I hope it will be possible to upgrade to this from a UK sub!
Sounds good. I haven't tried the aussie site as there doesn't seem that much there and I don't want to waste the free day. I also haven't had time to devote to the free day.

I transcribed an image for Kansas the other day. Not sure they are transcribing all 5 though. But that may have changed since I went on.

Lots of images available here:

www.1940census.archives.gov

Most states seem to be there, although I don't think all towns are covered yet.

Thanks so much for that, Mary - I found my great-aunt and family in a few seconds!

I had the address from city directories and had already pinpointed it on the map, so I just had to use their ED finder, and the family were on page 1 of the first ED it suggested! One of the daughters is missing, though, and I have no idea where to look for her, but there is another daughter I didn't know about. And it's shown me I was on the wrong track with one of the sons.

Looks like most or all states are on ancestry to browse now, and Delaware and Nevada are indexed (not sure whether partially or fully.)
