                                       The Lasconder was built by the Larkin Aircraft Supply Company of Melbourne in 1929 as a
                                       three engine light airliner.  Power was supplied by three 150 hp Armstrong Siddeley Mongoose
                                       engines.   It bore a remarkable similarity to the Kreutzer K-5 Air Coach which was developed
                                       about the same time - mid to late 1929.  Go to my image of the latter at

                                       and you will see what I mean.  The Lasconder was a one off and plans to develop the design fell
                                       through.  It was struck off the register in 1934.  The image above is courtesy of the Geoff Goodall
