Posted by Jim Dick The Northrop Delta will be of interest to us Australian customers as an example was impressed by the RAAF during WW2 and given the serial number "A61-1". It started out as Lincoln Ellsworth aircraft and was used in his 1938-39 antarctic expedition. In Feb 1939 he sold it and a Aeronca Seaplane as well as his ship the "Wyatt Earp" to the Australian government, the Dept of Civil Aviation used the aircraft for a brief period before handing it over to the RAAF. From there it flew with No 35, 34 & 37 Squadrons before coming to grief on the 30th Sept 1943 in a takeoff accident and was broken up in 1944. Regards Jim Dick --Previous Message--
