Delivered to Qantas in 1930 and used for outback air services and charter. Grounded in September 1932 over concerns at the integrity of Puss Moth wings but back in the air in March 1933 with more frequent inspections (in 1942 Australia mandated a third wing strut following a further wing failure). VH-UPQ sold to McDonald Air Service in September 1933. Crashed into the sea near Cairns, Queensland, on January 19, 1937, after the pilot fell asleep. One passenger, a child, drowned but the pilot and a second passenger rescued. Photo from: State Library of Queensland
