Crowds on the beach to see the first aeroplane ✈️ at Maroochydore (coastal suburb of the Sunshine Coast, Australia 🇦🇺) on February 1, 1922 @facethenation

The pilots were Capt Snell 👨‍✈️ and Lieut Bird 👨🏼‍✈️. They landed unexpectedly about midday. It was first thought to be a forced landing but two valid reasons transpired afterwards. One was a dire shortage of cigarettes on the aeroplane and the other was that, having an alleged up-todate map 🗺 on board, which mentioned no township, village or settlement here, they went down to get its name.
