Welcoming the re- enactment crew, Albury Mayor, Councillor John Roach, said: 'It's a wonderful day and a lot of people have been very interested and keen since first hearing about the Uiver Foundation's re-enactment of this flight. It's a wonderful spectacle and we are very pleased that the aeroplane has landed here and they'll be the guests of the city for a few days. I'm sure a lot of people will reminisce and get together with the crew'. As the "Uiver" rested on the lawn at the western end of the tarmac a band played the national anthem of the Netherlands. Pilot Jan Plesman said: "We were very interested to see the racecourse and how long it is. I think those guys did a good job at that time. It is a much greater achievement than what we have done especially navigation wise". He conceded that they were cheating on navigation a little bit for the modern day flight. Captain Jan Plesman said that after the 1934 incident, Albury Mayor, Alderman Alf Waugh, was the most popular man in Holland. "In Holland, Albury is on the map and everybody knows where it is." After four days filming in Albury the "Uiver II" flew on to Melbourne, the place where the race ended in 1934. The Uiver Collection of 286 items (archival, audio-visual and object-based) is owned and managed by the Albury City Council. The Dutch National Aviation Museum Aviodrome in The Netherlands holds the only known collection that compares to that held in NSW. The Uiver Collection has strong provenance and is in good condition. It covers the principal thematic areas of the "Uiver Story", the MacRobertson International Centenary Air Race 1934, the Douglas DC-2 aircraft and Dutch/Australian relations. Together these attributes provide abundant material for interpretation. Overall, the items in the Uiver Memorial Collection are in good condition. The collection is managed by the Albury Library Museum according to best practice national standards by a team of professional collection managers and curators. The Uiver Collection is of state significance as a collection of ephemera relating to the flight of the Uiver in the MacRobertson International Centenary Air Race of 1934. The flight was the first commercial passenger flight between Europe and Australia. The Uiver's emergency landing in Albury and ultimate success of the Uiver in the race, contributed to the development of air travel in Australia. The story is a unique historical event in the relationship between Australia and the Netherlands that culminated in the establishment of Australia's first migration agreement with a foreign country when signed by Australia and the Netherlands in 1939.
