G-AUED de Havilland D.H.9C
(c/n 86)

I cannot confirm that this is, in fact, G-AUED
except that the image came from the John Oxley
Library, State
Library of Queensland collection and that source is usually
correct. The D.H.9C
was one
of Qantas' first aircraft and was registered to the Longreach company
in November
1923. It met
its demise in a crash at Tambo, Queensland on 24 March 1927 and this
accident
marked the embryonic
airline's first fatality.
