VH-UQH  de Havilland D.H.60M Moth         (c/n 1685)

                              

                                  Photo, from the Geoff Goodall collection, of a very average looking Metal Moth taken at Longreach,
                                  Queensland circa 1932 when the aircraft was owned by R.S. White of Esk, Qld.   It was the former
                                  G-ABHY and had broken the England-Australia record the previous year when it had been flown out
                                  solo by C.W.A. Scott in 9 days, 4 hours and 11 minutes, arriving at Darwin on 10 April 1931.  It had
                                  six or seven owners over the next two decades and wound up in Carnarvon, WA in 1952, although
                                  was never impressed into RAAF service during the war.    VH-UQH was severely damaged by a
                                  cyclone at Winning Pool Station, WA on 22 March 1953 and was officially stricken from the register
                                  later that year.
