Dook (#9517),
Very interested, particularly as to the source of the picture on the web page as I thought we had the only copy of the original hanging on the wall in Port Melbourne.
It is indeed Eagle Farm and the aircraft is the Southern Cloud.
My partner's grandfather was one of the team from the Ford Company involved in the "recovery" and many years later his son (Robert) used his skill as an artisan craftsman woodworker to build the wings used in Kidman's reconstruction. Some years ago I saw a "spare" wind at the HARS facility near Woolongong.
Two reference notes on the 1928 or 1930 (depending which version of history you chose to accept) to follow..
