                               The above photograph comes courtesy of the John Hassard/John Hopton Collection via the Airways
                               Museum and Civil Aviation Historical Society.    The image immediately below is from the State
                               Library of New South Wales collection, taken probably in 1930 just after it had been re-registered
                               into the VH-U series.   It was operated at the time by the Australian Aero Club (NSW Section).
                               These early Moths had an axled undercarriage. Later variants used the split (individiual) axled type
                               with bungee shocks.  This aircraft was, like many early Moths, later updated to D.H.60G status,
                               and is still on the register today.   Photo No. 3 was taken by  Bob Neate, (via Geoff Goodall) and
                               shows -UAE as it appeared at Forbes, NSW in May of 1964, and No. 4 at the foot of the page is
                               a nice (fairly contemporary) image of it by Phil Vabre taken at the AAAA Fly-In at Swan Hill in
                               April of 2005.   For more fascinating details on its history go to:
