Interesting photo and background story. Sorry to have a small quibble - this is not at Garden Island but East Circular Quay (wharf 2?) where the 'Mariposa' was docked. The angle of the Harbour Bridge towers, and the proximity is shown by this GoogleMapsSatellite 3D view which is fun to twiddle with - www.google.com/maps/@-33.8593544,151.2142311,42a,35y,345....
And the shipping records -

And a photo of the floating crane 'Titan' lifting the plane off the ship. Sam Hood must have been on the 'Mariposa' - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/237475637?searchTerm=m... -

Ha! This is fun - found via a Trove search . . . The building is still there at the south west corner of Crown and Liverpool Streets, with an extra floor or two on top - hence it is not instantly recognizable. Google Maps - goo.gl/maps/GDsPTixZC9aCjzSbA See Trove SMH 26 November 1940 p.5 - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/17717327?searchTerm=Gi... -
GIBSON BATTLE'S NEW PREMISES. The new automotive electric service station for Gibson Battle and Co Pty Ltd at the corner of Liverpool and Crown streets Sydney is nearing completion and the company expects to transfer its business from the present premises in Commonwealth Street on December 9. A site of about 8,300 feet is provided in the new premises the whole of which is occupied by the ground floor service station and offices. The administrative offices on the first floor occupy 2,700 square feet. The building is the first section of what will be a four-storey structure. The building of reinforced concrete has been designed to carry the necessary additional loading for the extra stories when required. Construction work is being done by A W Edwards Pty Ltd to plans and under the supervision of Mr Samuel Lipson architect Sydney.
