Background To Issue: This year marks the centenary of the first two flights, by seaplane and landplane, around mainland Australia. The first began on 6 April 1924, when Wing Commander Stanley Goble and Flying Officer Ivor McIntyre set off from Point Cook, Victoria, in a single-engine, open-cockpit, Fairey IIID seaplane, A10-3. Travelling anti-clockwise, they battled poor weather and constant engine trouble. On 19 May, after 44 days and 13,600 kilometres, they alighted at St Kilda beach, Victoria, to a warm welcome from a 10,000-strong crowd.
