A diverse collection of aviation-related items encompassing mid-to-late 20th-century civil and military aeronautica. The lot includes two framed works: a colour print of three Supermarine Spitfires in flight bearing markings PR-B, PR-D, and PR-E, and a monochrome drawing of an Avro Lancaster bomber with markings KM-B, signed by artist John Larder. The collection features several model aircraft, notably a silver Douglas DC-3 Betsy on a circular wooden plinth with a metal plaque inscribed Cathay Pacific Airways First Aircraft in Service September 24, 1946 – August 6, 1955 VR-HDB Betsy. Also included is a boxed Boeing 747 SUD model in Japan Airlines livery, a jet model in Ansett livery, and a vintage gold-toned desktop aircraft model. The lot is accompanied by a substantial group of technical documentation, including schematics and blueprints for Boeing 747-400 aircraft systems and an aircraft planning document listing registrations such as VR-HKA and VR-HIB with service dates ranging into the early 1990s. Further ephemera includes a branded Air Canada box, a Boeing-branded accessory case, and a New Zealand National Airways Corporation matchbox.
