Summary

Eleven photographs of Ross and Keith Smith's Vickers Vimy plane at Adelaide, shortly after their successful flight from England to Australia, including one of the plane coming into land, the plane viewed from various angles, and crowds around the plane. There are also four photographs of other early planes: one appears to be the Smith's Vicker Vimy outside a building with a (partially obscured) sign referring to Charles Wakefield [Wakefield provided financial support for the Smith's 1919 flight to Australia]; another which appears to be of Captain Harry Butler's Bristol M1C monoplane outside the hanger at Northfield (known as the 'Red Devil' and used by Butler to escort the Smith brothers into Adelaide); and two bi-planes, one of which is probably Butler's Avro 504-K. See also B 74368 for related images.
