Regretted not joining the gang on an urbex exploration during the day time...
Had cricket practice after work, so didn't get time to explore any new neighborhood places... so after practice, while driving home, I decided to take a different route just to see if I can find something interesting... and found a spot to catch a few bike riders zipping by.. soon, a few sped by and clicked a few panning shots. all hand held 'coz I didn't have my tripod with me... and was too lazy to get it from my car..!! Soon, an vintage looking car also came in the frame.. since I had zoomed in to catch the bikers, I had very little time to zoom out and shoot the car.. stil tried, but the tail end got cut off, hence posted it in the comments.. If the full car was in the frame, I wouldn't even have thought of posting the main pic.. I just love old vintage cars...
Oh, click on the image and make sure he doesn't exit your screen...!!!!
Thanks for your views and/or comments and have a fantastic weekend.
Hawdon.
It is October 1942 and the location is Long Beach California USA and in an aircraft manufacturing plant a US Army Air Corps C-47 is under construction and it would be registered and No. 6021 and would later be allocated 41-18660 which was its US serial number.
Arriving at Archerfield (QLD) in January 1943 the C-47 was assigned to the Fifth Air Force which at time was operating in Australia.
With the war rapidly coming to an end it became obvious that a large number of aircraft would be surplus to needs and to counter this loss the Australian Government gained permission from the Far East Air Services Command to immediately release three aircraft and a further nine aircraft on conclusion of hostilities.
In June 1946 the three aircraft were officially transferred to the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) from the newly formed Australian National Airline Commission (ANAC).
The now named “Hawdon” VH-AES flew the first passenger flight for Trans Australia Airlines (TAA) from Melbourne to Sydney on 9th September 1946 departing at 6.00am.
From September 1946 – June 1959 the “Hawdon” serviced TAA predominately in Queensland until 26th June 1959 when it was withdrawn from service.
Following an extensive restoration to flying condition and refurbishment the aircraft flew from Melbourne to Lae on 12th August 1960 to become the first TAA aircraft to fly to New Guinea.
It was whilst it was in New Guinea that the aircraft was given a new livery in Sunbird colours and a new registration VH-SBA.
On 7th June 1970 the aircraft was yet again withdrawn from service when in Brisbane between June 1971 – August 1971 it was again restored to flying condition.
The aircraft was flown to Melbourne on 9th September 1971 where it once again flew the Melbourne Sydney Melbourne route to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the inaugural flight.
On 19th July 1973 the aircraft was again withdrawn from service from Air Nuigini who were loaned the aircraft in October 1971.
The aircraft would remained parked at Melbourne Airport unceremoniously beside a fence until it was once again refurbished but this time it was used as a static display where it was suspended from an arch in the Melbourne Airport car park on 13th December 1979.
It would be removed on 29th April 1987 where it was once again parked against the fence.
Volunteers from Australian Airlines staff began to restore the aircraft to flying condition in January 1988 and on 9th September 1988 6 of the original 21 passengers from the original flight flew a commemorative flight celebrating the 42nd anniversary of the first flight.
Today the “Hawdon” is in its new and more permanent home at HARS located at Albion Park and it represents a fascinating insight into Australia’s aviation history.

I get what I paid for. :-)
I think they made a bad batch. I've been shooting Arista for over a year and didn't see this problem. It happened here on the roll I shot couple weeks ago. It happened three times on the roll I developed yesterday.
