    trove.nla.gov.au/work/154910284 - the chap in overalls who's been cut and pasted into this pic also appears in this SLNSW A.J. Perrier pic...which looks to have been taken on the same occasion...

    Just going on the SLNSW's caption, my guess is he's Dr George Hamilton, who together with Les Holden, etc helped organise the search for Charles Kingsford Smith and the crew of the Southern Cross, when they went missing in the Kimberley coast region of Western Australia in March/April 1929, whilst attempting to make a record flight to England (the 'Coffee Royal Affair')...

    Hamilton appears in photo No. 9 in this series...

    There are several good pics of Hamilton in the NLA's Fairfax Collection...but they don't show his face from this same angle...so it's difficult to be certain it's him...

    trove.nla.gov.au/work/185373747 - pic of Hamilton taken in early April 1929 whilst he was preparing for the search for Kingsford Smith, etc...

    trove.nla.gov.au/work/184464177 - L-R: Frank Mitchell (NSW Aero Club ground engineer and pilot)...John Stannage (wireless operator)...Les Holden (pilot)...Dr George Hamilton...the crew of the Canberra that found Charles Kingsford Smith etc in West Australia in April 1929...

    covid convict I think that is a good call. Looking at the photos it seems likely it is George Hamilton and the composite is definitely from the other slnsw pic. On a sad note I noticed in the search Sep 18, 1932 De Havilland DH.80 Puss Moth While cruising at a height of 100 feet over the Burringbar Mountain Range, the pilot encountered strong winds and turbulences. He initiated a turn to the right when the left wing and the rudder detached. Out of control, the aircraft crashed and was destroyed. All three occupants were killed. Crew: Ralph Virtue, pilot. Passengers: Les Holden, Dr. George R. Hamilton. www.baaa-acro.com/crash/crash-de-havilland-dh80-puss-moth...

    State Library of New South Wales yes the crash was a tragedy...flying wasn't exactly safe in the 1930s...
