Faith in Australia 1933

Date29 December 1933Reference NumberPhoto 99-130DescriptionIn 1933 this Avro 10 Fokker aeroplane was the largest to have visited New Zealand. It landed on the Waikareo Estuary in Tauranga on December 29, 1933, having taken off in Rotorua. It was flown by Flight Lieutenant Charles Ulm who was one of the pioneers of long distance flight. The craft was Ulm's personal aeroplane after buying it from the failed Australian National Airways, a company he had established with Kingsford Smith. It was named "Faith in Australia". Ulm was to later die after ditching the aero craft at sea north of Hawaii having become lost and out of fuel. Details about the photograph and occasion can be read in the Bay of Plenty Times, 29 December 1933 edition, page 3. One of several aero craft themed photographs donated by Gavin Meadows.
