    Great photo of a great musician. At first I thought he was jumping up in the air, but he is sitting on the fence. See photo in the article below. Read All About It ! - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/229218579 " ..."Satchmo" (short for for Satchelmouth) wore a dark blue sports suit, bright green flowered shirt, and carried a portable radio. ..." A different article says he played "St Louis Blues" - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/23444170 Priceless - Armstrong and Sibelius and cigars - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/18448853

It was half an hour ahead of schedule, and had to circle until 1.30 pm. ... " So Louis' wristwatch might still be on San Francisco or Hawaii time, and it was about 2 pm ?!

    "... VH-UUB was delivered to Holymans Airways Pty Ltd at Launceston, Tasmania in September of 1935 and named "Loila" (aborigine for "sky"). When ANA took over from Holymans at the end of 1936 this DH 86 was transferred to their asset register. It served them well until the outbreak of war and was then impressed into military service with the RAAF, becoming A31-3. It was destroyed by a fire on 14 April 1942. ..."
