On the night of 19 March 1932, the day of the opening of the famous Sydney Harbour bridge, the Southern Cross took a load of passengers to view the illuminations on the bridge. Returning to Mascot - as it then was - the Southern Cross made a heavy landing and was badly damaged. The aircraft underwent extensive repairs before returning to the air.

This aircraft had quite a history before coming to New Guinea. Originally registered NC4806, then in Spain as M-CKAA, EC-KKA, then in the UK as G-ACAK. Acquired by Holden's Air Transport Service in 1935 but sold to Guinea Airways two years later. In the background of this image are Ford 5-AT-C VH-UTB and a Stinson Reliant, possibly VH-UGC.

G-AGOL was the second prototype Viking. It was later transferred to the RAF as VX238. The huge mast behind the cockpit was part of the flight-test gear!

Carpenter's Dragon VH-URW failed to out climb the terrain after an attempted go-around, crashing into Little Wau Creek at the top of the Wau aerodrome. Sadly the pilot and a passenger were killed. However, the aircraft was sold to Parer's Air Transport and rebuilt, only to be destroyed by a Japanese attack in 1942. (CAHS/Len Dobbin collection)

A sad end to a famous aircraft...Following the loss of their Avro X VH-UMF 'Southern Cloud', Australian National Airways Ltd. (ANA) abandoned their interstate services and went into liquidation. C.T.P. Ulm, one of the principals of ANA, purchased Avro X VH-UMI 'Southern Moon' from the liquidators and had it rebuilt in highly modified form for use on route-proving and record-breaking flights. The aircraft was re-registered on 16 June 1933 as VH-UXX Faith in Australia. It's seen here in 1943 in a corner of Townsville/Garbutt aerodrome, rotting away. (CAHS/Stanley Brogden collection)

Connellan Airways' Twin Bonanza was registered VH-CLQ(1) on 23 February 1966. It was damaged in an accident 42NM south of Alice Springs on 24 April 1970. This photo shows it evidently stripped for parts a few months later. The date 18/8/70 is sprayed on the fuselage in silver paint, believed to be the date of this image.

Immediately after the war the USAAF sent this B-29 to Australia so that Australians could see what the famous aircraft looked like and also donate to a War Bond drive. It was re-named 'Waltzing Matilda' for the tour, which included every major city in Australia, as well as many smaller ones, from 17-31 October 1945. Previously assigned to the 459th Bombardment Squadron, 330th Bombardment Group of the 20th Air Force, whose badge it wears on the fin. Seen in company with Spitfire VIII A58-303 of RAAF 1 APU, probably over Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne. (CAHS/Stanley Brogden collection)
