Summary

Men apparently handling oxy-acetelene bottles beside an airplane (VH-RAZ) and a vehicle used while salvaging the Yandra. A researcher has provided the following information: this photograph was taken near the landing strip on Wedge Island, the nearest convenient location to South Neptune Island where the Yandra was stranded. The man on the right is Norm Growden, owner of Wedge Island at the time. The aircraft is a de Havilland Beaver, the first of many later owned by Robby's Aerial Services. The aircraft was destroyed in a crash at Narrung, South Australia, in November 1959 and Adrian Lee, the manager and chief pilot of the company, was killed.
