Grainy photo from the application for a certificate of airworthiness. VH-BAU spent 6½ years with Airlines (WA) before being sold. It was withdrawn from use at Maylands in 1955 because of deteriorating glues. Wooden parts of the aircraft ended up behind a car yard in the Perth suburb of Belmont. The wood was reused in restoration and amateur-built aircraft projects. This photo was added on 24 November 2025, and has since been viewed 45 times. |
