Lores Bonney was an active Qld aviator of the time. She would have been an inspiration for others.

For what it's worth, the VH registration looks like VH-UHQ. Which takes me to these two links: www.edcoatescollection.com/ac1/austu/VH-UHQ.html. The aircraft was later re-registered as VH-AAQ - the story is here www.edcoatescollection.com/ac1/austa/VH-AAQ.html The ladies name is mentioned as a Miss Betty Faux. The majority of aircraft in Australia's early years were registered VH-U followed by two other letters.. trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/56441499?searchTerm=betty faux

I would love to update our information to the State Library of Queensland One Search catalogue, with more relevant information. However I have three women mentioned for this photograph Maude Rose (Lores) Bonney, Ivy May Pearce and Miss Betty Faux. Can you please provide more information Graham and Sharyn as to why you believe this is Betty Faux or Ivy May Pearce.

pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) This is so great! We're sure Lores Bonney would have loved this. Thanks for sharing, sorry we are so very late in responding!

Lores Bonney (pronounced ‘Lor-ee’) is a name unfamiliar to many Australians, yet she was a pioneering aviatrix who dodged death on a number of record-breaking solo flights across the globe. Thankfully, for historians, Bonney kept meticulous notes of her trips – even recording entries at 10-minute intervals during flights. Brisbane pilot Lores Bonney broke many records during the 1930s, narrowly cheating death several times. Despite being lauded as the first woman to fly solo from Australia to England, she remains little known today. Source: www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/history-culture/20...
