25 July 1914

July 25, 1914, French aviator Maurice Guillaux returned to Newcastle, NSW and gave another display in his Bleriot monoplane. This did not get as much publicity as his previous visit had generated, but a newspaper report recorded an attendance of about 10,000. Almost uniquely for aircraft of this era, the actual aircraft used by Guillaux was preserved and may be seen hanging from the ceiling at the PowerHouse Museum, Sydney.
