Why are the engines draped in canvas on this one?


No idea...I wondered too...

This was the link to the pic

http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-...530-2nexs.html

...but the link goes nowhere

More info about the plane and the "slight prang" is at

"Pranged" on 4 June 1937...repaired and test flown 10 November 1937...159 days

Problem getting spare parts?....qualified repairmen?...money to pay for it all?

....sounds like today's state of aviation.

Does not answer Mitchell's question but shows the crash as 4 June 1937
