Description
Sydney (Rose Bay?), 1924. RAAF Fairey IIID Seaplane A10-3 flown by Wing Commander Stanley James Goble and Flight Lieutenant Ivor Ewing McIntyre on the first circumnavigation of Australia (anticlockwise) by air from 6 April to 19 May 1924. The men flew 8,568 miles in 90 flying hours over an uncharted course and in face of numerous difficulties. The flight began and ended in Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, with a crowd of over 10,000 people waiting to meet them at St Kilda Beach upon their return. The flyers were awarded the 1924 Britannia Trophy, and the contemporary press classed the flight "the finest in the history of aviation".
