VH-UCC  Junkers A-50 Junior   (c/n 3517)

                             

                                This rare old bird was found languishing in the sun outside Marshall's hanger at Bankstown,
                                NSW in 1954.   I recently discovered another shot of it by Brian Baker (below) which illustrates
                                well the typical Junkers corrugated metal-work.   The shot was taken at Lower Portland, a farm
                                north of Sydney.  Evidently the land had been overstrewn with power cables taking away the
                                ability of the farmer to operate VH-UCC.   In the event this machine was later restored and has
                                become a flying advertisement for Cathay Pacific Airlines, registered VH-MRR.
