    Thanks for reply JDK,

    I am afraid there are no other aviation related images in his photo album, other than one of the Wapati being hoisted aboard in Australia and another couple of Lincoln Ellsworth and Hollick-Kenyon ( Ellsworth’s pilot). Anyway I did promise not to post any more……( I thought you might get bored)

    Thanks for the information

    the Gamma appears to be on floats – I would have thought it must have been a risky business taking off and landing in conditions of floating ice!

    Incidentally, the Discovery II had two aeroplanes on board – A moth on floats and a Wapati partially dismantled on deck.

    I enclose the last photos ( honest!) – the moth on deck, the moth taking off – the captions says ‘ scouting for a lead’ – presumably for a clear passge through the ice, the Wapati on deck and an admittedly poor shot of my Great Uncle, Arthur Moore taken in bad weather on Discovery II

    Spot on!

    My Great Uncle was on board the Discovery II which met ( rescued?) Ellesworth at Little America January 15th 1936. The photo of the Gamma on the boat was taken on January 20th when Hawks arrived to meet Ellsworth. I enclse another photo of the Gamma and one of Ellsworth and Hawks meeting.

    What I havn’t been able to determine was the Second Gamma ( not Ellsworth’s polar star) ever flown in the antarctic as part of the ‘rescue’ mission?
