PACIFIC LANCASTER. Almost lost in the glare of the midsummer's sun beating down on Sydney's Mascot (N.S.W.) airport is this all-white Avro Lancaster ASR Mk. 7 (No. 3 coded WU 41 on lower fin) which is one of two operated by the French Navy in the Pacific. Based at the important air junction of Noumea in New Caledonia, these Lancasters are used for search and rescue operations. The rescue dinghy chute is visible below the rear turret.

SUNSHADE SPECIAL. Built for the personal use of sports and glider pilot Wolf Hirth of Nabern/Teck, this Klemm Kl 35 Spezial (D-EDEX) is a single-seat cabin development of the open, tandem-seat, pre-war Kl 35D. In place of the standard 105-h.p. HM 504 in-line is a 160-h.p. HM 506. The Klemm Spezial was photographed at the 9th International Exposition, Venice, 16th-20th July.
