The prototype of the cabin version of the Genairco. It was converted from the standard aircraft which had first flown in 1930. VH-UOJ was shipped to Fiji where it operated as a floatplane registered VQ-FAD. In 1935 it returned to Australia and back on its wheels, became VH-UUK. Photo from David Caughey Collection

Sold in the US as N240G in 1966

Former VH-UUI became N240G in May 1966, but in this photo it does not appear to be carrying its new registration yet. This General Aircraft Company Genairco Cabin biplane was first registered in Australia as VH-UOH on 2 June 1930, and reregistered as VH-UUI on 24 Sep 1936. In the late 1980s it was acquired by Kermit Weeks. Note the landing gear struts, inboard top wing struts, window and tail shapes.

Built as VH-UOH in 1930 with open cockpits. Sold to Fiji Airways as VQ-FAC and operated as a floatplane. Sank May 22, 1933. Shipped to Sydney for rebuilding, finally reappearing in 1936 as VH-UUI with an enclosed cabin for two passengers and the pilot behind, DH Fox Moth style. By this time Genairco was out of business. -UUI remained on the register with a couple of breaks until 1966, Over the years the engine was swapped from a Cirrus Hermes to a Gipsy Major and a DH60 undercarriage fitted. It was sold in the US as N240G in May 1966. Now in storage at the Fantasy of Flight Museum, Florida.
