Harry Hawker Flies at Elsternwick, February 1914, three real photo postcards depicting 'Hawker's Aeroplane' (on the ground at Elsternwick golf course); 'Hawker descending over Elsternwick Hotel'; and, 'Hawker and aeroplane at Elsternwick golf links, February 1914'; all annotated verso. (3 items). On February 7, 1914 a Saturday, Hawker had signed himself up to a promoter, Albert Soulthorpe, of Swanston Street, Melbourne, to give 'A public display of aviation at Caulfield Racecourse or other suitable grounds'. Proceeds were to be equally divided between the promoter and the aviator. Moorabbin people turned out in full force, but only to become insignificant in their numbers against the thousands who arrived from other parts of the metropolitan area and beyond.
