G-AUEJ  de Havilland D.H.50A                           (c/n  130)

                              

                                   Larkin Aircraft Supply Company Ltd of Melbourne liked to name all their aircraft.  This one was
                                   "Wattle Bird" and the tilting is seen in script on the fin in this image from the Hood Collection,
                                   via the State Library of New South Wales collection.  It appears, in this shot, to be powered by
                                   its original 230 hp Siddeley Puma but at some point in time this was exchanged for a Bristol Jupiter.
                                   It remained in service with Larkin until it force landed at Methul, NSW on 9 June 1932 and was
                                   destroyed in the resultant fire.   So far as is known it never wore a VH- registration.
