EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic de Havilland DH50, registration number G-AUFW, as it made its mark in aviation history as the first passenger cabin aircraft to enter service in Australia in the year 1924. The DH50, manufactured by the de Havilland Aircraft Company, was a significant milestone in the development of air transport Down Under. The DH50, also known as the "Moth Major," was a two-engine biplane designed primarily for passenger transport. Its sleek design and advanced features, such as enclosed cabins and improved engine performance, set it apart from its contemporaries. The aircraft's introduction marked a turning point in the Australian aviation industry, paving the way for more advanced and efficient passenger aircraft. In this image, the DH50 is seen taxing on the tarmac, its engines idling gently as it prepares for takeoff. The passengers, dressed in their best attire, eagerly await their journey, their excitement palpable. The crew, clad in their uniforms, work diligently to ensure a smooth departure. The backdrop of the Australian landscape, with its lush greenery and clear blue skies, adds to the sense of adventure and progress. This photograph is a testament to the pioneering spirit of the early aviation industry in Australia and the role that the de Havilland DH50 played in shaping the country's transport history. Its enduring legacy continues to inspire and captivate aviation enthusiasts to this day.
