A52-319 at Perth after its delivery flight to its new home . Owned by Jimmy Woods, it was soon registered VH-WAD. That lasted a few weeks before its provisional CoA was cancelled and it was struck of the register. VH-WAD sat in the open at Perth Airport until 1971. In 1972 it was being shipped to a new US owner when a dispute over payment of shipping costs saw it offloaded in Melbourne. Sat rotting away in the open until 1979 when the Australian War Memorial bought it. Now restored and displayed at the AWM in Canberra. Photo from: State Library of Western Australia

The Manchester was the twin-engined precursor of the Lancaster. One of the troublesome Rolls-Royce Vulture engines is being worked on here. Unfortunately IWM do not provide known dates for many of their photographs, but L7279, the fourth production aircraft, was the first Manchester to be delivered to No 207 Sqn at Waddington on 6 November 1940 and the photo was taken soon thereafter. L7279 flew only a single combat mission before being relegated to training duties. Photo by: Bertrand John Daventry / Imperial War Museums

Used to carry tourists to Rottnest Island off the coast of Perth. Flights stopped when Ansons were barred from carrying passengers or flying over water. After a failed attempt to sell VH-WAB to the Dutch air force in Dutch New Guinea, it was donated to a farming friend of Jimmy Woods as a play thing for children. By 1969 it was derelict and by 1974 had been removed to the tip. Photo from: State Library of Western Australia

Part of the RAF's Long-Range Development Unit Flight that flew non-stop from Egypt to Australia. L2638 was LR1, the lead aircraft. The library caption on this photo says it is at RAAF Pearce but by the time the remaining two LRDU aircraft arrived at Pearce L2638 had already been written off. It had suffered an engine failure near Richmond, NSW. Date of this incident is unclear. The damaged L2638 was dismantled and shipped back to the UK from Sydney.

PK-AFC arrives in Australia on an experimental air mail service from the Netherlands. PK-AFC flew the legs after Batavia. The success of the flight prompted Imperial Airways to start a joint UK-Australia service with Qantas although it took over three years to get going . Under pressure from the UK, KNILM was barred from operating regular services into Australia until 1938. The Dutch were unable to retaliate by barring the Imperial/Qantas from the Dutch East Indies because KLM needed to transit India and other British possessions.

The Lerwick was a failure, unstable on the water and in the air. It was still pressed into service with No 209 Sqn in late 1940, but withdrawn from operational duties already in May 1941. Eleven out of 23 examples built were lost in accidents. L7265 is seen near RAF Wig Bay at Stranraer. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

C5001 was owned by Harry Butler, who painted it red and named it Red Devil. He used it for racing and also had an Avro 504K for joy flights. C5001 became G-AUCH in 1921. After Butler was badly injured in the crash of the Avro in 1922, the Bristol was cancelled and then stored following his death in 1923. C5001 returned to the register as VH-UQI in 1930 with a Gipsy engine in place of the Le Rhone rotary. Now preserved at Harry Butler Memorial, Minlaton, South Australia, in its 1919 markings and a Le Rhone engine fitted. Photo from: State Library of South Australia

VH-MMS seen here either on a promotion flight on December 28, 1959, or its inaugural flight three days later. It amassed over 70,000 hours in Australia before it was exported to Chile in 1991. As a result of MMA's long sectors for an F27, VH-MMS became the first F27 to pass both 10,000 hours and 20,000 flying hours. Photo from: State Library of Western Australia
