Constellation VH-EAC Harry Hawker at Eagle Farm, Brisbane in
March 1954 during the tour of Australia by Queen Elizabeth II and the
Duke of Edinburgh. Constellation VH-EAF Horace Brinsmead departs
in the background, presumably with Her Majesty on board.
It is believed that VH-EAC was the backup aircraft. Behind VH-EAF is
the corrugated iron fence which marks the boundary between Eagle Farm
airport and Doomben Racecourse. See a preceding image
from a different viewpoint.
