EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland DH86 Express Air Liner, registration number VH-UUA, of Qantas Empire Airways. The DH86, also known as the "Queensland" model, was a significant aircraft in the history of aviation, particularly in the development of air transport in Australia. Manufactured by de Havilland in England, this six-seat, single-engine monoplane was a popular choice for both private and airline use due to its reliability, speed, and efficiency. The DH86 was the first aircraft to be operated by Qantas Empire Airways, which was established in 1934 as a subsidiary of Qantas to provide air services between Queensland and New South Wales. VH-UUA, with its distinctive red and blue livery, was delivered to Qantas in 1935 and became a familiar sight in the skies above Australia. The aircraft was used extensively for passenger and freight services, as well as for the transport of mail and government officials. This photograph, taken in the 1930s or 1940s, captures the grace and elegance of the DH86 Express Air Liner as it sits on the tarmac, ready for its next journey. The image offers a glimpse into the past, when air travel was a new and exciting frontier, and the de Havilland DH86 was at the forefront of aviation technology.
