3/4 rear view of a Walsh Brothers Avro 504k H5240 in front of a hangar. Believed to be at Hastings.
Associated document describes: "These photographs, each of a different Avro 504k were probably taken on the original Hastings airfield on Maraekakaho Rd during the period 1925-30. Note the Walsh Bros. logo on the aircraft shown in No. 88 [MUS9401029]. The negative of No. 87 [MUS9401030] has been examined through a high power magnifier and the logo on the fuselage partly obscured by an onlooker clearly includes the word "Australian". This aircraft does not appear to be identified with Air Force roundels as are the others."
