VH-AGF (2) *
de Havilland
D.H.94 Moth Minor
(c/n DHP20/ 94020)
This Moth Minor was one of some 86 built by de Havillands in Australia
in 1940. Its RAAF
serial was
A21-041, and it was civilianized in June 1945. Odd, since the war
in the Pacific was
not then over. Clearly hostilities were coming
to
conclusion, so the RAAF was drawing down
on
its pilot
training. Anyway, -AGF remained active until 5 March
1954, when it was written
off in a crash
at Grafton, NSW. Photo above from the Frank Walters
collection.
* The first VH-AGF was to have
been the D.H.60X Cirrus
Moth, formerly VH-UHB which had
been sold to a company in Java in 1941
(before the Japanese invasion). . Presumably it had
been
allotted VH-AGF after the war but this was never taken up, the Moth
becoming
PK-SAS
instead.
