Nice photos

One of the last times the real one flew was for the movie 'Smithy'. Apparently the RAAF guys at Richmond serviced her and found bits of glass from a thermos in the oil reservoir, putting paid to the doubters who didn't believe the story of tranferring oil over the Tasman.

If you like aviation history check the book 'Smithy' by Ian Mackersey.
