Maitland Floods, 1955. Duration: 3min 28 sec
Footage of the flooded region of Maitland. Jeffrey Allen Burns' log book indicates that this footage was likely to have been shot on the 26 February 1955 when he flew an Auster, Registration KSC, over Maitland with a second pilot or pupil, S. Freedman, with the purpose (or duty) of the flight being noted as 'Maitland photographic'.
His log book also notes that he also flew a Tiger Moth on 27th and 28th February, and again on the 1st March, to do 'food drops', presumably over the flooded area.
Thanks to Jemma Reed Burns, daughter of Jeffrey Allen Burn for donating this digitised film to the Archives of the University of Newcastle, Cultural Collections Auchmuty Library.
