VH-ADR  Northrop D1 Delta  (c/n  42)


                                 


                                         A poor photograph of a very interesting (and historic) aircraft.  This machine was used on an
                                         Antarctic expedition by the explorer Lincoln Ellsworth.   At one time it was registered NR14267
                                         and fitted with skis.   After the expedition, and whilst Ellsworth was on his way home, so to speak,
                                         the Northrop was purchased by the Civil Aviation Branch of the Australian government.    During
                                         the war it saw service with the RAAF as A61-1.   Power was supplied by a 735 hp Wright
                                         SR-1820-F2  Cyclone engine.    For another shot of this aircraft, and more history, go to:
