1934 Qantas Hanger

The hangar is a pre fabricated building developed by the Sidney Williams Company and erected in Darwin in 1934 for Qantas Empire Airways Ltd in time for the Centenary Air Race.

It was used by the first Australia to England air service operated by Qantas and Empire Airways and later by the first Adelaide to Darwin air service operated by Qantas and Guinea Airways. By 1946 the Ross Smith airstrip ceased to be operational, and the hangar was used as a mechanical workshop and later a store.

John found this interesting as it had old cars and machinery me not so much.

But all part of being a tourist and visiting places of interest.Leia mais
