Story about the 1937 Airlines of Australia Stinson crash at Lamington, Queensland, Australia and the rescue of its survivors by local Queenslander Bernard O'Reilly.
Stinson Model A[]
Reg. VH-UHH christened Brisbane. This non-flyable replica of the Stinson Model A is now displayed sunburnt outside O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat, Lamington National Park (2017). She was first kept inside the Wangaratta Air World Museum, Wangaratta, Victoria, Australia in a good condition during at least fifteen years.
The cockpit action is unable to show the instrument panel behind the steering wheel (more precisely: the panel has no instruments and the gas throttle is not at the right place). The aerial shooting was done with a radio/command model which is probably seen inside the Library at O'Reilly's (at least until 2008).
Unidentified Aircraft[]
The white aircraft (between the pilot and the car)... Piper PA-22 Pacer or Stinson 108?
Boeing-Stearman Model 75[]
Ryan PT-22 Recruit[]
de Havilland DH.82 Tiger Moth[]
Reg: VH-MDV De Havilland DH-82 Tiger Moth (wearing A17-626 on her sides) c/n 468.
Another one is seen alongside but too quickly to decipher her registration.
Auster J-5P Autocar[]
Reg. VH-BTE Auster J-5P Autocar c/n 3200.
