                                   Photographed in Fiji in 1933 after it had been sold to the original Fiji Airways where it eventually
                                   became VQ-FAC.   It was restored to the Australian register in 1936 as VH-UUI.  (Had it been
                                   in the UK, it would have reverted to its original rego).  Photo above from the Geoff Goodall collect-
                                   ion.  Geoff indicates that -UOH, along with Genairco Cabin Biplane VH-UOJ were both shipped
                                   out to Suva from Sydney on the SS Aorangi, departing 2 Feb 1933.   They were accompanied by
                                   General Aircraft Co Ltd's owner/CEO George Boehm to supervise their assembly and the fitting of
                                   their floats which were designed by Lawrence Wackett and had been built at Cockatoo Island Dock-
                                   yard in Sydney.    Due to poor patronage, Fii Airways Ltd ceased operations in Feb 1934.   The
                                   company, which was registered in Adelaide with Guinea Airways backing, was liquidated two years
                                   later.
