********** explanatory stuff about the project to be done
Thanks for all the input on this amazing character. The completed publication can be downloaded from here.
I’d be interested particularly in any local memories of the coastal expedition of 1923. The detail in the Trove collection of Daily Mail articles is, if anything, too much!
It has been suggested that we collect information on the RAAF Supermarine Southampton flying boats with a view to marking their 100 years. The best source is adf serials, but additional information would be greatly appreciated!
The next interesting around Australia flight is Smith and Ulm, with Hitchcock as mechanic in June 1927. 10-day, 5-hour circumnavigation of Australia in a Bristol Tourer biplane. This 11,585-kilometre flight, which began in Sydney, beat the previous record by 12 days, and its main purpose was to raise money and arouse interest in the Pacific flight project of 1928, which will involve great celebrations!
