Photo Comment

The oldest airworthy aeroplane in Australia, this was also the first Moth to be exported from the UK, being first registered in Australia as G-AUAE on 5 November 1925 to the Civil Aviation Branch, Department of Defence. It was re-registered as VH-UAE in 1930. In later years it was re-built to D.H.60G standard, with a Gipsy engine in place of the original Cirrus, and is preserved in immaculate condition today at Walcha, NSW.
