From the collection of my father, John (Mac) McGinnis Williams

UPDATE 8 May 2008

Thanks to all those who helped to identify this aircraft, particularly Queensland Air Museum.
The Avro 618 Ten VH-UNJ (c/n 371) was registered 8 February 1930 to Queensland Air Navigation Ltd., Brisbane and named "City of Brisbane". It arrived in Brisbane on 17 February 1930.

There has been no success in identifying the pilot, the three passengers on the left or the tall man on the right. 

Can you identify this plane and the people in it?
This photo is from a newspaper clipping. Unfortunately there was no date or explanation on it except the handwritten date '17th Feb 1930', and part of the text - "...ation Ltd., and the pas..."   This may not indicate the date of the news item and the text could have been 'aviation', 'corporation' or 'navigation' and 'passengers'.

It would help if I could identify the pilot and the tall man on the right. My father is the man in the middle.

I have my father's Queensland licence which entitled him to fly a DH60, issued in January 1935, and he always maintained that he co-piloted the first Fokker into Queensland. 

Clues: My father was associated with Horrie Miller. See Speedboats 
         The photo was probably taken in Brisbane.

This appears to be the DH Gypsy Moth G-AUIR.
The photo is blurry and the date and place are  unknown.

There is writing on the nose of the plane which is difficult to read.
Any ideas?
