AL-92 Alaskan Aerial Survey

from SDASM Archives

• TVL1970 said:

  As per the December 1929 issue of the journal US Air Services*, this photo features three Loening OL-8A aircraft of the Alaskan Aerial Survey on the government dock at Juneau, Alaska. From left to right they are: The aircraft designated No. "2," BuNo A-8078, named Ketchikan; the aircraft designated No. "4", BuNo A-8076, named Sitka; and the aircraft designated No. "1," BuNo A-8072, named Juneau. The fourth aircraft, designated No. "3," BuNo A-8079, and named Petersburg, took the photo. The Lapwing-class minesweeper USS Gannet (AM-41), also captured in the photo, performed the role of aircraft tender for the survey expedition, and would lift the Loening OL-8A's and place them upon the dock after the completion of each sortie. *Grinstead, Frances "Air Mapping in Alaska with Loening Amphibians." U.S. Air Services, Vol. XIV, No. 12, December 1929, pp. 43-46.

  Niall McAuley Well done. The first ever choir trip away (the underpinning for much of the Lemur Instant Location Service) was to Port Erin for the Isle of Man Music Festival.

  Francis Frith was there in 1897 - www.francisfrith.com/port-erin/port-erin-the-harbour-1897... - not sure if this is earlier or later, but possibly the shed middle left is not yet built in the Mason photo. Or is it out of frame?

• Niall McAuley said:

  beachcomber australia Just out of frame, I think, but look at the ramp/steps in the Mason - I think a concrete job has been done to make it permanent in the Frith. I think the Mason is earlier.

  Merry Christmas All ... 🎄🎅🎄🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎅 Mr French / Lawrence was there too on a busy day - maybe a regatta? Looks later than Mr Poole due to the hats - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000316089 EDIT - there is a poster on the concrete slab above the nearby steps with "Tramore Regatta" and an illegible(?) date. See megazoom.
