VH-UHQ de Havilland
D.H.60G Gipsy Moth
(c/n 878)

This lousy image is a much
lightened blow-up of that photograph used for the entry for Puss Moth
VH-UQK.
The Gipsy Moth was accompanying Broadbent and Maguire at
the start of an epic
`
Australia-England flight made in October of 1935. The Moth
was one of several which made up
the nucleus of
the Australian Aero Club (NSW Section) in the early 1930s. It
became part of the
Royal
Aero Club of NSW fleet in July 1937. It was destroyed in a
crash landing at Wagga, NSW
in
December 1939, but rebuilt by the RACNSW as VH-AAQ .
