Biography: Walsh, Austin Leonard and Walsh, Vivian Claude

Artists Rosie Louise and Terry Moyle based this artwork on contemporary photographs of the New Zealand Flying School at Mission Bay, Auckland. The buildings include aircraft hangars behind the central pines and student accommodation to the right of the hangars. The old mission house in the central foreground served as a dining room and the adjacent flat-roofed building as an operations and briefing room. The school’s Supermarine Channel flying boat is overhead.
