VH-UDN  Sopwith Dove                                (c/n  W/O 3004/3)

                               

                                   Extremely rare image from the John Hopton collection of a Sopwith Dove first registered in June
                                   1921.   By August 1930 it had been re-registered VH-UDN so this photo was probably taken
                                   shortly after that.   It had several owners in Victoria and NSW (and several lapses of registration
                                   in between) in the early 1930s and was written off when it forced landed some 4 miles NE of
                                   Goulburn, NSW on 27 February 1934.
