  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Goggles, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

  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.
