Delivered to Qantas in 1930 and used for outback air services and charter. Grounded in September 1932 over concerns at the integrity of Puss Moth wings but back in the air in March 1933 with more frequent inspections (in 1942 Australia mandated a third wing strut following a further wing failure). VH-UPQ sold to McDonald Air Service in September 1933. Crashed into the sea near Cairns, Queensland, on January 19, 1937, after the pilot fell asleep. One passenger, a child, drowned but the pilot and a second passenger rescued. Photo from: State Library of Queensland

Derived from the Potez 54 bomber, the Potez 62 was an airliner first flown in January 1935 and seating up to 16 passengers. It was called Potez 620 when powered by Gnome-Rhône 14 engines and Potez 621 with the Hispano-Suiza 12. Some 23 examples were built. Air France used them on domestic and European routes, but also in South America and between Damascus and Saigon. The Potez 65 was a troop transport variant. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum

A1-25 is towed ashore after ditching in Sydney Harbour, presumably due to engine failure. It was based at nearby RAAF Richmond. The water-logged aircraft was "converted to components" soon after. A1-25 had been part of the Imperial Gift, a collection of over 100 aircraft from the RAF to help form the RAAF. Canada, India, New Zealand and South Africa also received Imperial Gifts.

Developed from the Hs 128 high-altitude research aircraft, the Hs 130 was a reconnaissance plane which never saw operational service. This is the fourth Hs 130E-0. The E had a DB 605 engine and a large supercharger in the fuselage feeding air to two wing-mounted DB 603s. The 1995 Grob G-850 Strato 2C used a similar propulsion system for high-altitude flight.

E5757 was delivered to 2 Sqn of the Australian Flying Corps. 2 Sqn officially 68 Sqn in the Royal Flying Corps to avoid confusion with The RFC's 2 Sqn. The Australians never accepted the RFC number and it was dropped early in 1918. The state library captioned the photo as Egypt, where 2 Sqn was formed in 1916. However it was on the Western Front when it received SE-5As at the end of 1917. Operated from airfields in France and Belgium. Squadron stayed in Europe until 1919.

The second and last example of Howard Hughes' XF-11, first flown by him on 5 April 1947 after he had recovered from crashing the first one. The second aircraft did not have contra-rotating propellers. A long-range reconaissance aircraft, the XF-11 competed against the four-engined Republic XF-12 Rainbow but neither was put in production. The F for photo reconnaissance designation was changed to R in September 1947. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum

The second and last example of Howard Hughes' XF-11, first flown by him on 5 April 1947 after he had recovered from crashing the first one. The second aircraft did not have contra-rotating propellers. A long-range reconaissance aircraft, the XF-11 competed against the four-engined Republic XF-12 Rainbow but neither was put in production. The F for photo reconnaissance designation was changed to R in September 1947. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum

Wilson Airways was set up by Mrs Florence Kerr Wilson to provide air services in Kenya and Tanzania. Her company paved the way for commercial aviation in East Africa. By 1938 the fleet included one DH.84 Dragon, four DH.89 Dragon Rapides and two DH.90 Dragonflies. On the outbreak of WWII the aircraft, including this one, were requisitioned by the Kenya Auxiliary Air Unit. Photo by: H. Schlesing / Koloniales Bildarchiv / Frankfurt University

G-ABTL arriving at Brisbane. It was surveying an air mail route from the UK to Australia to be jointly operated by Imperial and Qantas Empire Airways. QEA believed the Atalanta too big for the section from Singapore to Australia and successfully argued for the DH.86 Express to be used instead. Astraea went on to be impressed into the RAF as DG450 for service in India. Photo from: Hudson Fysh Collection/State Library of New South Wales

VH-URL was involved in a fatal accident accident on December 5, 1935 when it crashed into a tent while attempting a forced landing at Crescent Head, NSW. A woman in the tent was killed and -URL wrecked. The aircraft was rebuilt. Impressed into the RAAF in 1940 as A7-82 and scrapped in 1944. The DH.60G III was powered by an inverted Gipsy III engine which made it look at first glance like a DH.82 Tiger Moth. However, it retained the straight upper wing of earlier DH.60s.
