A rare colour photograph of a Kingsford Smith KS-3 at work, supplied by Bill Boulden the chief pilot of Airwork. Only a handful of KS-3s were built using components from CAC Wackett trainers including the Warner Scarab engine. VH-FBD crashed on November 27, 1961 at Borden, Western Australia. Concerns over the Wackett's glued wooden wing resulted in the grounding of it, the remaining KS-3s and several other types including Avro Ansons. The continued development of the Wackett as a cropduster resulted in the Yeoman YA-1 Cropmaster with a metal wing.

Designed by Luigi Pellarini, the Tanker was a predecessor of the Transavia Airtruk. The Tanker used an Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah engine and first flew in 1956 from Bankstown. It failed to win interest from cropdusting firms and the project was stopped. The PL7 was never certified or registered. It was damaged in a hangar fire and scrapped in 1962. Pellarini moved to New Zealand where he developed the Bennett Airtruck using T-6 parts before returning to Australia to design the Transavia Airtruk. Photo by Col Peck.

This was the first Cessna 180 to be registered VH-BQD and crashed at Beemery, NSW on August 7, 1956. It was replaced within the year by c/n 31128 imported from New Zealand. It too crashed, in 1959. The aircraft is seen here loading superphosphate on a farm probably in the Central West or South-West Slopes regions of NSW. The name of the photographer is not known.
