Document scanning in Essendon, Victoria is very likely to have included early information and records from the suburb’s airport, which was proclaimed in 1921. First tenants included Major Harry Shaw, Bob Hart, Captain Matthews and H.J. Larkin. The grassed runway airport celebrated a number of major aviation milestones, including visits from famous pioneer Sir Charles Kingsford Smith and Alan Cobham, who flew his de Havilland DH 50 floatplane from England to Australia landing at Essendon before a crowd of 60,000 people. Old photographs from events such as this are often provided to the team here at Minuteman Press for use in Booklets and Postcards.
In 1950 Essendon’s tarmac began to welcome flights from around the world after it was declared Melbourne’s first international airport. However, expansion was restricted due to its close proximity to housing. This led to the establishment of the current international airport at Tullamarine. Photographic records, some of which were subject to document scanning in Essendon in recent years, highlighted several memorable arrivals at the old terminal including The Beatles in 1964 and Air Force One with then US President Lyndon B Johnson aboard three years later. Kylie Minogue also filmed her hit single Locomotion at the airport in 1987.
