From a collection of photos by Clyde Engineering showing A16-31 at Bankstown after repairs at Clyde's factory at Lidcombe in Sydney. It had been damaged at RAAF Pearce, Western Australia over a year earlier. The expensive exercise to ship the aircraft from the west coast of Australia to the east coast for repairs brought only a short lived benefit. A16-31 crashed and burned at Rabaul, Papua New Guinea, on November 23, 1941. Photo from: Powerhouse Museum This photo was added on 29 April 2023, and has since been viewed 157 times. |
