    I had fun trying to work out what the aircraft were. Those closest the camera are Bristol Fighters; further away are (I think) Airco DH9s and then DH4s

    This appears to be the same event pictured in the Imperial War Museum archives as Connaught and Belgium's King Albert at Houthem Aerodrome on July 3, 1918.
    Looks like the king is the tall standing figure at right in this photo.

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip arrive at Oakey Airport, 1954

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    A significant proportion of the Australian population saw the Royal couple during the tour. It was an extraordinarily popular event. The Queensland itinerary featured Brisbane on 9-10 and 16-18 March, and the regional cities Bundaberg and Toowoomba on 11 March, Townsville on 12 March, Cairns on 13 March, and Mackay and Rockhampton on 15 March. The Queen traveled 2600 km by plane, and the Townsville–Cairns–Mackay legs on the Royal yacht. Despite the distance, the Queen’s trip never took her inland from the Queensland coast further than Toowoomba, but many Queenslanders traveled inland to see their Queen. Elizabeth II commented that ‘what has impressed me the most was the long distances people traveled to see me. From Brisbane, the couple visited Bundaberg, Toowoomba, and, briefly, Oakey on 11 March. This journey included a 640 km flight and a 100 km car trip. People all over the state traveled to the major regional centers to catch sight of the Queen. In Toowoomba, schoolchildren rode milk trucks, and adults traveled in trucks and buses to see the Royal couple for only a fleeting moment. The federal government's Royal Visit commemorative book published just after the tour described one of the highlights of Toowoomba as the royal couple witnessing 'the grotesque, age-old ceremonial of the corroboree performed by full-blood Aborigines who have traveled from the Northern Territory for the occasion.'
