Description
Richmond, NSW, 1928. De Havilland DH9A aircraft A1-9 stands on the edge of the tarmac at RAAF Aerodrome Richmond. Two RAAF ground crew members (left) are about to lift the tail of the aircraft so that another RAAF serviceman can place a set of tail-handling wheels beneath it. Another serviceman (right) bends low as he ducks under the biplane's lower wing. The tail-handling wheels make it much easier for ground crew members to move the aircraft around on the ground.
