    Our history in brief Since the establishment of the City Ambulance Transport Brigade (CATB) on 12 September 1892, the original intent has prevailed through time and that is providing care and support to the sick and injured in the Queensland community. By 1902 Queensland had transitioned from a colony to a state and the ambulance brigade had spread to a number of Queensland communities to become the Queensland Ambulance Transport Brigade (QATB). Each local centre was administered by a QATB committee in conjunction with the State Council. On 1 July 1991, the QATB was transformed into a state-administered service to become the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) as we know it today.

De Havilland DH 82 Tiger Moth biplanes on an airfield in Queensland

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The de Havilland DH 82 Tiger Moth is a 1930s biplane designed by Geoffrey de Havilland and was operated by the Royal Air Force and others as a primary trainer. The Tiger Moth remained in service with the RAF until 1952 when many of the surplus aircraft entered civil operation. Many other nations used the Tiger Moth both in military and civil applications and the ubiquitous little trainer is still in great demand worldwide as a recreational aircraft. It is still occasionally used as a primary training aircraft, although now most Tiger Moths employed in training duties are used by pilots gaining experience for 'taildragger' license ratings.

    The Centenary Air Race is widely known as the MacRobertson Air Race, from London to Melbourne. It marked the centennial of the city of Melbourne. It is also the subject of an Australian made-for-TV drama titled, The Great Air Race (1990). The de Havilland DH.88 in this photo still exists in flying condition at the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden in England.
