#Holyman’s Airways

[seriouscrumpet]

"Miss Hobart" was the second De Havilland DH-86 Express to be built, and one of only four to have a single-crew cockpit layout. Transported by sea to Australia, it arrived in August 1934 and was assembled at RAAF Laverton. Holyman’s Airways at Launceston (LST / YMLT), Tasmania, Australia took delivery on October 1st, and the aircraft entered service on the Tasmania-Melbourne route on October 3rd. Miss Hobart disappeared over the Bass Straight on 19 October 1934 with no trace found of aircraft or the 12 persons on board. https://www.airliners.net/photo/Holyman-s-Airways/De-Havilland-DH-86-Express/2013714 https://tasmaniantimes.com/2018/10/the-mystery-disappearance-of-the-airliner-miss-hobart/ https://airlinehistory.co.uk/airline/holymans-airways-i/
