VH-BAG  Lockheed 18-56 Lodestar     (c/n 2194)

                              

                                  The above is a Jack Petersen photograph taken in front of the old Terminal building at Archerfield,
                                  Brisbane in 1947.  It depicts VH-BAG in the markings of Aircrafts, Pty Ltd  a forerunner of
                                  Queensland Airlines.  The name change was effected in October 1948.   The shot immediately
                                  below is of unknown provenance, but presumably taken at some time later before the disastrous
                                  loss of the aircraft on 10 Mar 1949.  Also at the foot of the page is an image from the same era
                                  (circa early 1949) from the John Oxley Library, State Library of Queensland collection, depicting
                                  -BAG with (hard to decipher) Queensland Airlines titling in red on the natural metal fuselage.
