VH-UGH  de Havilland D.H.60 Moth                            (c/n  354)

                           

                                This rare photo is from the Neil Follett collection.  Rare, inasmuch as this aircraft was struck off the
                                register in 1933.   It was originally imported in August 1927 for Qantas (as, of course, G-AUGH). 
                                The low-res image below, from Picture Sunshine Coast, shows it as G-AUGH on the beach at
                                Noosa Heads in the late 1920s.   Qantas sold it at the end of 1927 to T.H. Bishop of Brisbane
                                who 'transferred' it immediately to Mrs. D.E. Reis.  In February 1931 (by which time the aircraft
                                had had a coupleof mishaps ) Qantas bought it back, only to sell it again in October 1932 to C.H.
                                Ferris, still based at Archerfield, where presumably the above photograph was taken.  Anyway,
                                following a takeoff accident at Rocklea, Queensland in April 1933, it was stricken from the register.
