G-AUDH    Bristol Tourer                                      (c/n  6115)

                             

                                     This WA Airways Bristol Tourer is carrying a plethora of advertisements on the fin and rudder.
                                     First registered in November 1921, it crashed at Port Hedland, WA on 15 July 1924.  Some
                                     metal parts of it along with new woodwork were used to rebuild it and, when completed, it was
                                     given the new rego G-AUDZ.   The above image has been preserved and made available by the
                                     Historical Records Rescue Consortium Project supported by Lotterywest, and is part of the State
                                     Library of Western Australia collection.  In the shot below, from the Australian Inland Mission
                                     collection, another ad is displayed on the tail, this one for Sun Insurance.  It is possible it was
                                     taken around the the same time, and that the Tourer had different messages on both sides of the
                                     tail.
