VH-ADL  de Havilland D.H.94 Moth Minor   (c/n  94028)

                               
                              
           
                                    The VH-ADL that most people remember is the Bristol 170 Freighter Mk 31, but there were a
                                   couple before that.  The first was a Rearwin 9000KR Sportster (which went to New Zealand as
                                   ZK-AHN) whilst the second was this rather attractive Moth Minor Coupe, seen here at Bankstown
                                   in 1954.   Unfortunately it crashed in the Northern Territory shortly after this photograph was taken.
                                   This Moth Minor had had a rather convoluted series of registrations.  It was built as G-AFPL and
                                   originally first registered in Australia as VH-ACK.  It retained that registration for slightly over a year
                                   and then, for some reason was re-registered VH-ADA.  Following a period when it was not current
                                   it underwent a renovation to emerge as VH-ADL.
                                   The Coupe option was custom-built by de Havillands on a small number of D.H.94s.
