A crowded Adastra hangar at Mascot in 1956. The only aeroplane which can be positively identified is Anson VH-AVT. This Anson was re-registered VH-AGA in March 1957. The Dragon in the foreground is probably VH-AGC which Adastra sold in September 1958. Edge Adams seems to recall that the Hudson is VH-AGG. It is believed that VH-AGG was the only Hudson to carry an unfaired DF loop so this probably is VH-AGG. The earthworks going on in front of the hangar suggest that this might be Hangar 13 which Adastra occupied around this time. Aircraft magazine of September 1956 states: "The new £35,000 hangar is now nearing completion at Sydney Airport, but occupation date is uncertain due to delay in construction of taxiways to give aircraft access to the new tarmac area."
