G-AUDZ   Bristol Tourer     (c/n  6115)

                           

                                This aircraft was a re-build from the wreck of G-AUDH and given the same c/n.  Both photographs
                                in this entry are from the Geoff Goodall collection. The one above shows the aircraft being readied
                                for flight with Captain F.T. O'Dea looking on.  This rare shot was taken at Tambellup, Western
                                Australia in 1929.   The image below shows the WA Airways designed horn balanced rudder (non-
                                standard on most Bristol Tourers - see the shot of G-AUDK).   It had a couple of private owners
                                in the lare 1920s and crashed at Ceduna, SA on 6 June 1930 .  The Australian civil register shows
                                G-AUDZ as having been re-registered VH-UDZ in February 1931, although since it was effectively
                                written off that prior June that entry seems superfluous.
