Dh86 Havilland Melbourne Qantas
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the sleek lines and graceful form of the de Havilland DH86, registration VH-USF, as it taxis at RMA Melbourne Airport in the 1940s. The aircraft, operated by the legendary Australian airline Qantas, is a testament to the golden age of aviation. The de Havilland DH86, also known as the 'Queensland' or 'Empire' model, was a popular and versatile aircraft that saw widespread use in both civilian and military roles. Its distinctive design, featuring a metal fuselage and fabric-covered wings, made it a favorite among pilots and passengers alike. In this image, we see VH-USF taxing on the tarmac, its propellers turning lazily as it prepares for takeoff. The airport scene is bustling with activity, with other aircraft and ground crew visible in the background. The photograph captures the sense of excitement and adventure that surrounded air travel during this era, as people took to the skies for the first time to explore new destinations and connect with the world. Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online is proud to offer this rare and evocative image, which provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of aviation and the role that Qantas played in shaping the skies above Australia.
