Summary[edit]

Description
English: 1985 Fokker F.VIIb/3m Trimotor monoplane. Shortly before Kingsford Smith's death in 1935, he donated the Southern Cross to the Commonwealth of Australia, for display in a museum. The aircraft was brought out of retirement briefly in 1945 for the filming of the movie Smithy. The machine was refurbished in 1985 under the supervision of Jim Schofield, a senior aviation civil servant and air crash investigator. The Southern Cross is now preserved in a special glass hangar memorial on Southern Cross Way, near the International Terminal at Brisbane Airport in Queensland, Australia. There is also a full-sized flying reproduction of the Southern Cross in South Australia. This aircraft was built in the 1980s and is the largest known reproduction aircraft in the world - Kingsford_Smith_Memorial_YBBN_20070331_7022
