Another very early Ju 52/3m. Used as a seaplane on the Stockholm to Helsinki and Reval (Tallinn) routes in summer and as a landplane on the Malmö - Amsterdam route in winter. Aircraft name on lower nose. Aircraft militarized during WWII. Flown by minor Swedish companies until January 1954, then destroyed by Bromma fire brigade except cockpit which is preserved at Arlanda.

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 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. JA6502 was sold in Peru in August 1966 as OB-R-846. Photo from: Library and Archives NT
