G-AUIB de
Havilland D.H.60G Gipsy Moth
(c/n 848)

Nice image (above) from the Neil Follett
collection
showing a line up of Moths (and accompanying
intrepid airmen),
probably at the South Australia Section of the Australian Aero Club,
circa 1929.
The shot
below, from the State Library of South Australia collection shows the
Moth as one of
several at
Parafield in 1938 now sporting RACSA tail stripes and re-registered
VH-UIB. Finally,
at the foot
of the page is a cropped photo from the State Library of New
South Wales collection
showing the
Moth at an air pageant at Mascot in 1938, probably after it had been
sold by the aero
club to a
private owner. VH-UIB went on to serve in the
RAAF as A7-109. It was presumably
struck off
charge in the early 1940s.
