It took some sleuthing to track down the real identity of this aircraft, which is not cn 559 as the Register shows. Built by DHA Mascot to an RAF order as DX537 but diverted to the RAAF as A17-423. Acquired rebuild cn T202 along the way. Civilianised as VH-AZH with the Royal Queensland Aero Club but crashed at Archerfield 20 Sep 58. Remains stored and later rebuilt as VH-UIE, 17 Aug 95. The markings A17-25 do not relate to this aircraft's wartime identity.

This lovely Hornet Moth was added to the UK Register pre-war as G-AEZG but was impressed into the RAF during the war as BK830. A survivor, it resumed its identity as G-AEZG until being exported to Australia where it became VH-UXY(2) on 27 July 1979.

This aircraft is ex-RAF WB743. After 'demobbing' it came to Australia and was originally registered VH-BSR(1) with the Tasmanian Aero Club in January 1957. Sold to Bill Waterton Snr in the '60s and has remained in the family ever since. Struck from the Register on 15 July 1980 for long-term restoration. Re-registered as VH-OSR on 29 October 1996. To complicate matters, VH-BSR had in the meantime been allocated to another Chipmunk!
