Lawrence
Doctors Photo Gallery
Lawrence Doctors of Sydney, Australia was a photographer at the
World's First Hovercraft Race. His photos appeared in the 1964
Flight International Magazine special supplement on air cushion
vehicles, which predicted, " March 14, 1964 may become a famous
date in ACV history … An analogy may be drawn between the
Canberra trials of 1964 and the Rheims air meeting of 1909: both
mark the beginning of competitive development in their respective
fields."
