    Cecilia Temperli Not quite yet, the bridge's fabrication shed is still being demolished.

    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.

Sydney Harbour Bridge crowded with onlookers during the water and aerial display, 19 March 1932

    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.
