The number of interesting old aviation photos and information coming online as more and more papers and periodicals and journals are digitised, is great.
Personally, I find it hard to believe Australia had a fledging aircraft industry in the late 1920's - and the Great Depression, Govt apathy, and a lack of financial support saw it fold.
What that industry could have been, and could have produced, if it had been nurtured, can only be conjecture today.
