Arrival Capt Director Havilland Mathews Pilot Qantas Templeton 1923 Charleville
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the momentous arrival of the first de Havilland DH9C aircraft, registration G-AUEja, at Charleville, Queensland, Australia in 1923. The aviation pioneers of the day, Captain G. Mathews (pilot) and A.N. Templeton (director of QANTAS Ltd), are seen here welcoming the new arrival. The de Havilland DH9C was a two-seat biplane, which was primarily used for transport and training purposes. Its arrival marked a significant milestone in the development of aviation in Australia, as QANTAS (Queensland and Northern Territory Air Service) continued to expand its fleet and reach new destinations. The image showcases the excitement and innovation of the early aviation era, with the sleek lines of the DH9C plane contrasting against the rugged Australian landscape. This photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of the pioneering aviators who helped shape the future of air travel in Australia.
