IWM say this is a prototype of the Do 217J-1, a heavy but nevertheless effective night fighter. The airframe served with 4./NJG 3 as 3C-MT and was then supplied to the Italian air force which received twelve Do 217Js to equip one squadron of 60° Gruppo. The unit did poorly and this one was apparently lost in August 1943. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

The oldest Empire flying boat in BOAC wartime markings, seen landing on the Lagos Lagoon. Canopus was operated by Qantas between Singapore and Karachi until early 1942. Scrapped at Hythe in October 1946 after flying just over 15,000 hours in just over ten eventful years. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

The sole Parnall Prawn, a small flying boat. The engine nacelle could be tilted 22 degrees to keep its very small propeller clear of the water. Perhaps it never flew. The photo must have been taken in the second half of 1930 or perhaps a little later. In the background is a three-engine monoplane flying boat which must be the one and only Blackburn Sydney, serial N241, which first flew at Brough on 18 July 1930. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

Two-seat reconnaissance fighter built of an aluminium-iron alloy called Alferium. One liquid-cooled Hispano-Suiza 12Hb engine of 500 hp, maximum speed given as 240 km/h (150 mph). The sole prototype gave a 'pretty impressive display' at Villacoublay in September 1927 but the French air force dropped its requirement for such an aircraft.

USAAC aircraft from new. Arrived in Australia in April 1942. Mainly operated between Brisbane and Papua New Guinea. Handed over to the airline ANA to operate while retaining the Directorate of Air Transport Allied Air Forces radio callsign VHCCF. Force landed March 9, 1944 near Molesworth, Victoria by which time the camouflage had been removed. ANA bought the wreck and VH-ARA was allocated postwar. However it was not rebuilt and used for spares instead. Photo from: State Library of South Australia

Arrived in Australia in 1919 with a Le Rhone rotary engine. Became G-AUCH in 1921. Struck off register in 1922 after the owner suffered serious injuries in the crash of an Avro 504. New owner rebuilt the Bristol in 1930 with a Gipsy engine and new registration, VH-UQI. Used for air racing. Grounded in 1936 when a certificate of airworthiness was refused. Now preserved at Harry Butler Memorial, Minlaton, South Australia in its original 1919 markings and a Le Rhone rotary. Photo from: State Library of South Australia

From a collection of photos by Clyde Engineering showing A16-31 at Bankstown after repairs at Clyde's factory at Lidcombe in Sydney. It had been damaged at RAAF Pearce, Western Australia over a year earlier. The expensive exercise to ship the aircraft from the west coast of Australia to the east coast for repairs brought only a short lived benefit. A16-31 crashed and burned at Rabaul, Papua New Guinea, on November 23, 1941. Photo from: Powerhouse Museum

One and only Bristol Racer, built around the Bristol Jupiter engine, was beset with handling problems. It was entered in the 1922 Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe as entry No. 10 but failed to meet the event's conditions. The Racer's handling problems thwarted plans to use it as an engine testbed and it was scrapped in 1924. Photo from: National Library of Australia

'The Prince of Wales at an English military airfield.' French press photo showing the second Ju 52 in Lufthansa service, delivered on 10 September 1932. Location is likely Croydon rather than a military airfield, and the alleged date, 12 October 1932, is impossible because Prince Edward left for Copenhagen on Imperial Airways on 21 September and returned from his trip by night boat from Holland on 15 October. While in Sweden, by the way, he and his brother George flew on another Ju 52, SE-ADR Södermanland, then already in service with AB Aerotransport.

The S.33 was a successful early airliner. It is classed as a 'berline' (enclosed carriage) here on the rudder, but in addition to four in the forward cabin, one passenger sometimes sat to the right of the pilot. The main route of Compagnie Messageries Aériennes (CMA) was Le Bourget to Croydon. This aircraft was painted orange according to artwork. Photo from: Bibliothèque nationale de France - Gallica

VH-UUG was bought by pioneering Australian woman pilot Nancy Bird (later Nancy Bird Walton). It replaced her DH60 VH-UTN, seen here in the background. At the time Bird was using her aircraft to fly nurses to remote communities and properties from a base at Bourke, NSW. The operation was later moved to Cunnamulla, Queensland. Bird sold UUG in 1938 to a Cunnamulla farmer. The new owner and a passenger died when he crashed UUG at Cunnamulla on February 7, 1940. Photo from: University of Melbourne

This aircraft, taking athletes to or from the Melbourne Olympics, was likely the first Japanese aircraft to visit Australia after WW2. That it stopped at Darwin was more significant because Darwin was bombed many times by Japanese aircraft during the war, the final raid in November 1943.

Proving flight to Teheran with Maurice Noguès. While the Blériot-SPAD S.33 was upgraded to S.46 and S.66 standard, the S.56 was a new-built type with a Jupiter engine. A painter is still busy applying the airline title above the reg. The row of hangars at Le Bourget is much the same today - many of our uploaders have been poking around for photo opportunities between them. Photo from: Bibliothèque nationale de France - Gallica

Proving flight to Teheran with Maurice Noguès. While the Blériot-SPAD S.33 was upgraded to S.46 and S.66 standard, the S.56 was a new-built type with a Jupiter engine. A painter is still busy applying the airline title above the reg. The row of hangars at Le Bourget is much the same today - many of our uploaders have been poking around for photo opportunities between them. Photo from: Bibliothèque nationale de France - Gallica

There are other photos of this aircraft taken by the CO of 3 Squadron, RAAF. It was based at Riyaq (Rayak), Lebanon, immediately after the successful Syria-Lebanon campaign. The photo might also be at Baalbek, Lebanon, where the Australians captured 14 Vichy French aircraft although photos of some of those aircraft show extensive battle damage. This photo is an unusual find in the archives of a regional Australian museum. Photo from: Coffs Harbour Regional Museum

In 1921 the Aéro-Club de France organised a contest for transport aircraft. One of the three time windows for the trials was in February, with F-YHMF the sole participant. Nocturnal flights to Lille were attempted, but the crew had to turn back to Le Bourget each time. According to artwork, F-YHMF was painted pale blue. It was owned by the manufacturer - F-*HMF registrations were for the Henri & Maurice Farman company. In 1922 it was operated by the Messageries Aériennes airline for a couple of months.

The Caudron C.230 biplane F-AJZJ was operated by the aero club at Roubaix - Flers and, although this photo is from a library in Le Havre, we believe this is Flers, based on photos on the Anciens Aérodromes website. The first owner of F-ALKL was also from the Nord department. Both these aircraft were new in July 1931. Another hangar was added at Flers by 1933.

A good-looking biplane, the C.230 first flew in 1930. Some 75 examples were apparently built, mostly Renault-powered C.232s. The C.270 Luciole was developed from it. F-AJZJ was registered to the Club d'Avions Légers de Flandres in Lille in June 1931. The club had an airfield in Roubaix - Flers and it looks like the photo was taken there - see photo 567334 for the full picture. Photo from: Bibliothèque nationale de France - Gallica
