VH-URL was involved in a fatal accident accident on December 5, 1935 when it crashed into a tent while attempting a forced landing at Crescent Head, NSW. A woman in the tent was killed and -URL wrecked. The aircraft was rebuilt. Impressed into the RAAF in 1940 as A7-82 and scrapped in 1944. The DH.60G III was powered by an inverted Gipsy III engine which made it look at first glance like a DH.82 Tiger Moth. However, it retained the straight upper wing of earlier DH.60s.
