Title |
Qantas Kangaroo service Liberator (G-AGKT) refuelling at Learmonth Airport, ca. 1945 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: The Qantas Liberator aircraft G-AGKT in this photo is preparing to operate the Qantas Indian Ocean Service which was started in 1943 by the Catalinas and dubbed the "Double Sunrise" route.
The Liberators flew a shorter route from Learmonth Airport on the northwest coast of Australia near Exmouth, WA. This particular aircraft, G-AGKT, is also notable as it is the first aircraft to wear the Qantas kangaroo logo (then applied for the named "Kangaroo Service"). This first instance was the genesis of the now globally recognized Qantas Logo. |
