From memory this plane was damaged and the wings were removed and it was then used as a tractor?
State Library of New South Wales said:
Yes - that is the case - although I think Bickerton still had a lot of trouble keeping it going on the few days they were able to test it.

Was this taken by the same Frank Hurley who was on the Endurance?
Offbeat Canvas said:
Yes. He was Shackleton's photographer (and I seem to remember reading a quote somewhere about Shackleton deserving Hurley the way Scott deserved Herbert Ponting... Will have to look for it.)
