Owned by famed aviator Charles Kingsford Smith, VH-USB left Australia by air in October 1934 for the US. In September 1935 it was shipped on to the UK where it became G-ADUS for an attempt on the UK-Australia record. It crashed into the Gulf of Martaban, Myanmar, on November 8, 1935. An undercarriage leg washed up on Aye island but otherwise no traces of the -USB, Smithy and copilot Tommy Pethybridge were ever found.
