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 as 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

The photo is catalogued as taken at John Wren aerodrome in the Watut River Valley. Googling the name John Wren, either as an aerodrome or a person, does not come up in the context of Papua New Guinea except with this photo. The name is not in the book Wings of Gold, which is about this period in PNG aviation. The Watut Valley was an area where gold was being sought and G-AUHJ was operated by Airgold. The Moth crashed at Bulolo, another hub of gold mining activity, on October 7, 1930 while still registered as G-AUHJ. Photo from: State Library of Victoria

Sold in Australia as VH-BDT but after that the story came to a quick end. It flew a single freight charter to Singapore. The return flight was thwarted by overloading issues and defects. When it was finally permitted to leave, it did so empty. BDT's landing back at Sydney was its final one because owner Aircarriers had gone broke. Despite attempts to sell it, VH-BDT was scrapped in 1948. Photo from: State Library of New South Wales

The GL-32 was a fighter that saw service in the French air force and navy from 1925. This early example was used for aerobatic displays by Marcel Bapt. Registered as F-AJHV in 1929, it was transferred to his name in 1933. In 1936, the Basque government ordered new GL-32s for use as dive-bombers in the Spanish Civil War, but also bought some old ones including F-AJHV. Photo from: FelixArchief

This the first Skybaby built by brothers William, Jack and Alan Clancy in 1931. The design was popular and several others were built in Australia and elsewhere the 1930s. None of these ultralight aircraft were placed on the Australian register at the time. In 1997 a Skybaby was registered, initially as a recreational aircraft, and then in 2010, as VH-UMH. At time of upload it remained the only one to be registered in Australia. An American-built one is part of the Powerhouse Museum collection after being donated by the EAA in Milwaukee.

As 42-5682, this early C-47 (no suffix) was already in Algeria in 1943. She dropped paratroopers over Sainte-Mère-Église on D-Day. To SE-AYL. To Air Atlas in 1949. This company merged into Air Maroc, the predecessor of Royal Air Maroc, in 1953 but the aircraft still wears dual titles here on 23 October 1956. The previous day, it was bringing leaders of the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN) to a meeting in Tunis, but was intercepted by French aircraft and forced to land in Algiers. Aircraft to RAM and Moroccan air force. Photo by: Guy Defives-Choupin / ECPAD

VH-UMR was part of the first Central Australian Gold Expedition in search of Lasseter's Reef, which was a rich vein of gold that Harold Lasseter claimed to have found in the desert. No gold was found and Lasseter would perish alone in the desert after the rest of the expedition quit the search. The photo of VH-UMR may be at Alice Springs Townsite aerodrome or at Ilbpilla Soak, the advanced search base, where it crashed on August 9, 1930. Repaired, UMR was sold in New Zealand in 1934 as ZK-ADF. Photo from: State Library of New South Wales

A wonderful view of old Le Bourget from a landing plane - try this with a 1920s camera! KLM had their own tiny offices in Building 5. The five concrete hangars were built in 1921 and 1922 by architect Henri Lossier. They were partly destroyed in 1944, but rebuilt without changes. They are still in use, fortunately as listed monuments. F-AEGP is a Farman Goliath which crashed on 10 March 1927. Bottom left is almost certainly F-AIFE which was registered in August 1926, so this is very much what Lindbergh saw when he landed here.

The library says this photo is at Bathurst, NSW. But Bathurst did not have an aerodrome until 1938 while the photo is 1930. Tail number means an aerial derby but there are no reports of one of these well-publicised events at Bathurst. It got down to two events - the 1930 aero club aerial derby at Hargrave Air Park in September 1930 or an air pageant at Mascot (now Sydney) airport in November 1930. Study of the background and other photos of the event and from that era, this is Mascot airport. Photo from: State Library of New South Wales

Delivered to Brussels on 18 March 1947. As OO-ADN, this one was destroyed by a Katangese Fouga Magister on the ground at Elisabethville (Lubumbashi) in 1961. The breakaway Katangese were attacking United Nations aircraft. This DC-4 was being operated by Air Katanga though. Photo by: Daan Noske / Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)
