On this day in Australian aviation history:

1928 Bert Hinkler landed in Darwin on 22 February 1928, 15 days after leaving London in the prototype Avro Avian G-EBOV, completing the first solo flight from the UK to Australia. He was forced to abandon his 1920 England to Australia attempt in Rome because of political unrest in the Middle East. By 1928 he had acquired a larger aircraft – the Avro Avian – and set off, more or less in secret, from Croydon airport in London on 7 February. By the time he reached Darwin, 15 days later, he was a national hero. Source: Aviation Heritage vol 48 no 4 December 2017
1965 Callair A-9A VH-APW operated by Queensland Airplanters Pty Ltd crashed at Wallaville, Queensland on 22 February 1965. There was 1 fatality and the aircraft was written off. Source: aviation-safety.net website
