Description

RAAF Seagull V aircraft, serial A2-18, on HMAS Sydney (II). This aircraft was used by the ship at various times from 29 September 1938 through 1940. As the aircraft is not camouflaged, the photograph was taken prior to Sydney's return to Australia in 1941. Note also the ship's paintwork appears almost new and does not have a camouflage pattern.
