Description

A Handley Page 0/400 Aircraft, Serial No. C9745, which has just landed in the grounds of the 3rd Australian General Hospital at Abbeville. Aircraft would frequently visit the hospital, landing on open ground to the north east. Occasionally a forced landing was necessitated by petrol shortages or repairs. The officers and men were provided with accommodation until such time as the aircraft resumed its journey.
