Smithy supervises the installation of the new cowling in the KSAS hangar at Mascot. Press reports suggest that the new cowling was fitted in the period 3-6 October 1934. The gentleman holding the cowling ring and talking to Smithy is almost certainly Lawrence Wackett. The gentleman on the right may be the same person pictured earlier in conversation with Smithy and thought to be from the Civil Aviation Branch. The engineer on the raised platform and holding the cowling ring is believed to be Tommy Pethybridge.
