  The aircraft captured in the photo are likely Charles Kingsford Smith in his Fokker Trimotor (Fokker F.VIIb/3m) "Southern Cross" (VH-USU) and either "City of Sydney" (VH-UPI) or "City of Brisbane" (VH-UNJ) belonging to New England Airways. Both Avro 618 Ten ("Avro Ten" or "Avro X") aircraft (license-built Fokker Trimotors) escorted Kingsford Smith's "Southern Cross" during the Sydney Harbour Bridge opening celebration.

  State Library of New South Wales Thanks for putting up these Milton Kent photos at such very high res. I am finding them fascinating for many other details as well as the bridge building process.
