Delivered as G-AUAV in 1929 to the Queensland section of the Australian Aero Club and seen here with Australian Aero Club Brisbane titles. Reregistered VH-UAV in 1930. Gipsy engine fitted in 1934. Destroyed in a mid-air collision with Moth VH-UAN on June 19, 1937. The Archerfield-based aero club became the Royal Queensland Aero Club in 1935. The RQAC, which operated a major commercial aviation academy, entered administration in 2016. It has been resurrected as a not-for-profit community club.
