    This is so good! The Sydney Morning Herald photographer was in that biplane on Wednesday 18 December 1935 - SMH 19/12/1935 p.14 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/17231756 . The biplane belonged to Mr H. C. Durant. Somewhere nearby is the Motor Liner 'Malaita'. What a great photo of sail, steam, and air travel together
  • Dru said:
    very lively picture! _the aircraft is a Gipsy Moth, I'm fairly certain.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Dru I think you are right. There are several contemporary newspaper articles referring to Harold Durant's Moth.
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    Dru beachcomber australia Thank you for the information both of you! Our records have been updated, and we have added a story about Harold Durant in the description above. Enjoy :)

    I would say definitely JOSEPH CONRAD - the middle mast sails seem to be blowing out the wrong way. Seconds before this one, so the Moth biplane is somewhere around ...

  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia Thanks BC!

    beachcomber australia "blowing out the wrong way": This is the way square-rigged ships maneuvered to stay put without removing the sails, for instance to wait for a pilot to board.

    Minus van Baalen I never knew that - thank you!
