Qantas sold this aircraft in 1953. It crashed at Tingalpa, Queensland, on October 24, 1954. Two of the three people on board were killed. Ironically, the flight was to scatter the ashes of a deceased neighbour. The ship in the photo is the Tenyo Maru, sunk during World War II when the Japanese occupied Lae. It finally slipped under the surface during an earthquake in the 1970s. Photo from: Whites Aviation Collection/Alexander Turnbull Library

Photo caption says Bankstown airport but the hangar with its large vent over the door makes it more likely to be Moorabbin. VH-PSZ crashed near Maitland, NSW, on June 10, 1961, when it ran out of fuel.

A re-enactment of the start of the MacRobertson Air Race from England to Australia in 1934 took place at Midenhall. Although a grass strip was prepared this became unusable due to cross winds and a taxiway where aircraft had been parked became a short temporary runway. Many hands were needed to remove the parked aircraft and the visitors were moved away so this temporary 'runway' could be used.

VH-AXL was fitted with two small porthole windows either side of the cabin when delivered to QEA. It had been an ambulance aircraft with the RAAF and was sold to the Flying Doctor Service. AXL was operated by Connellan Airways with these portholes but it is not known if they were installed by the RAAF or by Connellan postwar. Qantas refitted the standard DH84 glasshouse and sent the aircraft to Papua New Guinea. It crashed there at Karanka on September 21, 1951. Note the Qantas hangar still has its wartime camouflage.
