VH-UQT was seen to spin in to a mangrove swamp while on a training flight from Mascot airport (YSSY). The instructor, Buster Brown, became trapped under the water and died. The student, an RAAF cadet, survived. Brown was the brother-in-law of Edgar Percival, of Percival Aircraft fame. -UQT was technically impressed into the RAAF as A7-119 just before the accident but this may have been a case of the paperwork running well behind events. UQT does not appear to have served in the RAAF. Photo from: State Library of New South Wales

VH-UAH flew with Kingsford Smith Flying School from 1934 to 1941. During this time it suffered two significant accidents. The wreckage was sold after the second, at Ettalong Beach on November 13, 1941, with the intention UAH be rebuilt. It never was. When it was placed on floats is not known. The photo is over Botany Bay, which adjoins what was then Mascot airport and is now Sydney International Airport.
