Withdrawn from use at Bathurst, NSW, in 1968 and soon succumbed to vandals and the weather.

VH-UUY landed at Bathurst on July 12, 1965, with the undercarriage partially extended. Airframe found to be in poor condition and the aircraft was left to the weather and vandals. Little more that scraps of timber and plywood by the early 1970s.

Within five years VH-UUY was derelict thanks to vandals and neglect.

VH-UUY was registered in April 1936. It was officially withdrawn from use in November 1968 but its flying days had ended three years earlier. In 1967 UUY still looked complete but by 1970 when this photo was taken, vandals and weather had wrecked it. A year later it was scraps of plywood and fabric. All useful components had been removed to assist in the restoration of VH-UTI.
