Lodestar VH-BAG at Casino, NSW on 2 December 1948. The tall pilot second from right is Harry Keegan who was later Chief Pilot of Aircrafts Pty Ltd. Sadly, Captain Keegan, his wife and two infant sons were returning from holidays as passengers on VH-BAG when it crashed on 10 March 1949 killing all on board. On the extreme left is Ron Adair, Managing Director of APL and next to him is Maurie Mitchell who became Chief Pilot after the death of Harry Keegan. It is speculated that the lady might be Mrs Keegan. The gentleman on the right is unknown but it is further speculated that he could be the local agent for APL. Photo: Alan Sheppard Collection |
