A sad end to a famous aircraft...Following the loss of their Avro X VH-UMF 'Southern Cloud', Australian National Airways Ltd. (ANA) abandoned their interstate services and went into liquidation. C.T.P. Ulm, one of the principals of ANA, purchased Avro X VH-UMI 'Southern Moon' from the liquidators and had it rebuilt in highly modified form for use on route-proving and record-breaking flights. The aircraft was re-registered on 16 June 1933 as VH-UXX Faith in Australia. It's seen here in 1943 in a corner of Townsville/Garbutt aerodrome, rotting away. (CAHS/Stanley Brogden collection)

VH-UNJ receives attention as the sun rises.

This short-lived Australian National Airways was formed by Charles Kingsford Smith and Charles Ulm in 1930 and ceased operations in Jun 1931. It is not related to the later larger ANA that merged with Ansett in 1957. This aircraft crashed at Alor Star, Malaya, on November 26, 1931 while on delivery to the UK.

Broken up June 1938

VH-UMG towards the end of its career when it had the light-coloured fuselage it had when it crashed at Mascot (Sydney International) airport on November 23, 1936. The background appears to coastal with a high headland running down to the sea and a heavy swell rolling in. -UMG was being used for joyflights when it crashed and the location might not be an airfield at all but a flat area near a beach.

Scrapped Sydney airport July 1938. Fuselage used for a caravan.

VH-UPI was withdrawn from use in 1938 due to corrosion.

VH-UMI was cancelled in February 1933. It returned to the register in June that year as VH-UXX "Faith in Australia", modified for making long-distance flights.

This short-lived Australian National Airways was formed by Charles Kingsford Smith and Charles Ulm in 1930 and ceased operations in Jun 1931. It is not related to the later larger ANA that merged with Ansett in 1957. Smith and Ulm's airline failed after VH-UMF vanished between Sydney and Melbourne on March 21, 1933. It remained missing until October 1958 when the wreckage was found in the Snowy Mountains. The name "Southern Cloud" is missing in this photo but the distinctive rego font is identical to confirmed photos of it. The original photo may have been retouched to remove the name in the wake of the disappearance.

VH-UNJ was withdrawn from use in 1940. By then Queensland Air Navigation was long gone, having closed in January 1931 following a fatal accident.

VH-UMH crashed at Newcastle, New South Wales, on November 28, 1935.

On the horizon can be discerned the arch of the newly finished Sydney Harbour Bridge, a view long since lost behind high-rise apartments and office towers
