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.
