  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.
