OBSERVER: Legends of the Skies
Legends of the Skies Theatre (LOTS) Series 13 presents Charles Kingsford Smith – The Man the Myth, the Mystery from November 6 – 8 at the Moorabbin Air Museum.
Under the artistic direction of Maggie Morrison, Smithy, a musical flight through history will toast the Aussie legend and enjoy listening to Jonnie Russell’s beautiful ballad The Immortal Southern Cross, with Smithy’s actual voice speaking at the end.
The timing of the show, November 6-9, will add extra significance as Smith is generally believed to have crashed into the Andaman Sea on November 8, 90 years ago.

Performances are held in the historic Casey Hangar at the Moorabbin Air Museum.
