VH-UOG  General Aircraft Genairco                                (c/n 16)

                              

                               Only 9 Genaircos were built - 10 if you include the seaplane completed by Tugan.  This
                               aircraft was delivered with a 105 hp Harkness Hornet engine.   It was first registered on
                               2 June 1930.   Seen below is a photo from the Geoff Goodall collection showing VH-UOG
                               in western NSW during the 1950s. This was Goya Henry's well known aircraft when his
                               legal actions against the Commonwealth resulted in a complete change in administering the
                               rules of the air in Australia.   By 1956 it was owned by Oscar Roche of Tottenham NSW,
                               who also had Genairco VH-UOD, and he flew it until retired it was retired in 1964.  It was
                               then stored at Tottenham until acquired by Joe Drage who transported it to his newly estab-
                               lished Drage's Historic Aircraft Collection on a farm at Wodonga Vic. When the Wangaratta
                               City Council, or forefathers, or whatever, elected to sell off this historic collection of aircraft,
                               VH-UOG was sold to Roy Fox in NSW who, hopefully, will have it restored to health one
                               of these days!
