Photo Comment

Made in 1934 as G-ACYS and exported to Australia in 1938 where it became VH-ACC. Registered to a collector at Carman/MB in April 1970 as CF-AUV (registration faintly visible on rudder) who stuck the ugly canopy on it, presumably to facilitate giving joy rides. By 1972 it was in Ontario and got properly rebuilt without the canopy in the 1980s. Restored as G-ACYS in July 2020.
