This is probably the sole remaining flying example of a Lockheed Hudson, used extensively as a light bomber and for coastal patrols in the early years of WW2. This is painted as an Australian Mk111 and flies at the Temora Aviation Museum in NSW. More photos (one with a Canberra) in the PiPs.

The Boomerang was developed in some haste in Australia from the Wirraway (and Harvard) as the Japanese advanced during WW2. Before they went into action other fighters (such as the red-nosed Kittyhawk in the background) were available, so they were used for ground attack.

These were retired a few years ago but until then, if you were in trouble on a mountain or at sea this is the sight you wanted to see. This example is now flown by Historic Helicopters based at Chard in Somerset. Photographed at the Shuttleworth Collection's Family Airshow in Bedfordshire.

Looking forward - to ipernity's problems hopefully being solved early in the coming year... I'll be back in a few days.

Copied (too small) from an old slide. View from the edge of the icecap behind Mawson station, early 1966, looking across the base itself, Horseshoe Harbour (beginning to freeze over), and to the islands and icebergs beyond. The surface here is blue ice: glassy hard and slippery, so my friend is wearing crampons to ensure a grip.

Die Ju 52 D-AQUI am Airport Hamburg. Vor dem Start zu einem Streckenflug nach Westerland/ Sylt.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_Ju_52/3m_D-AQUI

Diese Junkers Ju 52/3m D-AQUI gehörte zu den letzten drei flugfähigen Maschinen des Typs, die noch vor 1945 in Dessau gebaut wurden. Aufgrund erneuter Strukturbefunde musste der Flugbetrieb der D-AQUI beendet werden.
Die D-AQUI war bei ihrer Stilllegung im August 2018 mit 82 Jahren das älteste noch im kommerziellen Luftverkehr eingesetzte Verkehrsflugzeug der Welt.

Very shortly after I post this, we'll be on our way. First stop is Singapore, then onward to England (briefly) before heading across to Norway for a Hurtigruten trip before returning to Oz via Oslo and Copenhagen. I expect our aircraft will be a few sizes larger than this. :-) Here's a matching link.
