It has been suggested that this is actually the fuselage of CAPELLA G-ADUY which was similarly shipped back from Batavia in 1939 after being damaged during salvaged from a sinking ((but never repaired due to corrosion)

This photo was taken 2 months before the start of the Second World War, yet several of the Shorts aircraft factory roofs already appear to be camouflaged.

The Combined Services sports ground. The superb old malt stand still survives I believe.

A lost football ground with a barrel-roofed stand in the old dockyard. I believe the ground may have been locally known as 'the captain's table. Any further info would be appreciated!

The roofs of the Shorts aircraft factory appear to have been camouflaged, although the photo' is dated two months before the outbreak of WWII.

Empire flying-boat COORONG was damaged in Darwin harbour and surface-shipped back to England where it was repaired at Rochester....possibly the fuselage pinned in the photo
