VH-UAX  Waco UIC                  (c/n  3749)

                                
   
                                      The Model UIC embodied many improvements over earlier Model Cs.  The 210 h.p. Continental
                                      radial was tightly helmeted and the cabin top was glazed allowing good rear vision.  Note rather
                                      odd rear cabin window treatment.   Some 70 were built.   The shot above, from the Geoff Goodall
                                      collection, shows -UAX at Archerfield, Brisbane, in October 1935.   It was acquired by Aircrafts
                                      Pty Ltd., a forerunner of Queensland Airlines.   The aircraft had been delivered to the U.K. in 1933
                                      as G-ACGJ, and the image immediately below, from the John Oxley Library collection at the State
                                      Library of Queensland shows it just after it had arrived at Archerfield and still carrying its UK rego.
                                      Finally, at the foot of the page is a take off from a John Player & Sons cigarette card (circa 1936)
                                      from a set I have entitled "An Album of Aeroplanes (Civil)".  VH-UAX  crashed near Brisbane in
                                      May of 1942 and was not repaired.   It languished at Archerfield until 1947 when it was struck off
