Description
Black and white print of an Australian built DAP Bristol Beaufort VIII aircraft, serial A9-700 in flight over Sydney Harbour Bridge, 1944. Signatures and autographs of staff of the Jig and Tool Design Drawing office, Port Melbourne, are written around the border of the print. When the 700th Beaufort was delivered on 31 August 1944, several weeks ahead of schedule, the staff received a souvenir photo of the plane.
