Description

The remains of a De Havilland DH 82B Queen Bee radio controlled target aeroplane, probably K5103, being winched on board HMAS Australia. The Queen Bee was catapulted from the ship during an anti-aircraft gunnery training exercise, but the damage was probably caused when it landed in the sea.
