Two natty-dress chaps. Front is Lieutenant Eric Harrison, the pilot of the first flight of the Australian military Boxkite on 1 March 1914. Here he is in the original Boxkite CFS 3 with Brigadier General John Gordon on 5 March 1914. Gordon was the Chief of General Staff at the time, and one of several early VIP passengers to fly from the new ‘federal aviation station’ at Point Cook, as The Age called it.
