VH-AJE photographed on final to what was then runway 29 (not a current runway) at Bankstown airport (YSBK) at the end of what was claimed to be the shortest air service in the world at the time. The service connected Sydney airport (YSSY) to Bankstown, a distance of little more than 15km. Photo from: State Library of New South Wales
