The library says the photo is at Meekatharra but the aircraft was also named Meekatharra. Was this confusion? VH-UTW did fly to Meekatharra and there is nothing about the background that would exclude Meekatharra - or just about any other port the airline served. Meekatharra has been used as the location until proven otherwise. VH-UTW was destroyed in a Japanese air attack at Broome on March 3, 1942. Photo from: State Library of New South Wales
