Built in 1934, the last Vega, NC14236 - see other photo of this c/n - was requisitioned, as the sole UC-101, for the US Army Corps of Engineers. It was actually used by the Army's First Motion Picture Unit, flown by the well-known movie stunt pilot, Paul Mantz. It is seen here with the XC-69 Constellation prototype, NX25600.

This photo is captioned Daly Waters 1940 but that cannot be the case. After just 9 months with ANA and the start of WW2, VH-ACB was leased to the RAAF as A30-4 and camouflaged. The lease ended in May 1940 and ANA markings reapplied. However the Douglas Aircraft logos applied to the nose and tail at the factory, and seen here, were not reapplied. The photo is at one of the south-eastern Australian airports served by ANA, most likely Essendon or Archerfield. ACB written off in a forced landing near Essendon on April 14, 1943.

There was only one Lasconder built. It was powered by three Armstrong Siddeley Mongoose engines. VH-UMY was abandoned at Camooweal, Queensland around 1934. Where the photo was taken is not known but the Lasconder was in the Northern Territory in late 1930 and was used on a mail service from Camooweal to Daly Waters, Northern Territory, in 1933. It is likely it was it the Territory at other times too. Photo from: Library and Archives NT

XA897 crashed after a very heavy landing in bad weather at Heathrow on October 1, 1956. It had undertaken a flight to Australia and New Zealand and is seen here on its return via Darwin. The crash was controversial because AVM Harry Broadhurst, who was onboard, overruled orders to divert. Broadhurst and the pilot ejected from the crippled jet leaving the rest of the crew to perish.
