VH-UPT arrived in Australia as G-AXMX and a competitor in the London-Sydney air race that was held over Christmas-New Year at the end of 1969. It attracted massive media attention because the crew were two young women who had held their licences for only a few weeks. -AXMX was dubbed Bob The Beagle. It was sold in Australia after the race but in 1974 it returned to Britain to take up its original identity.
