G-AUCZ
Avro
504K
(c/n AAEC/7
An excellent
print from the Kevin OReilly collection showing an Avro 504K, believed
to be
at Hay, NSW,
probably after it had been acquired by C.A. Butler when he was working
for
Larkin`s Australian Aerial Services, and after
it had been reconditioned in 1927. In the shot
below, from the Powerhouse Museum Collection, it appears to be in a
state of either being
dismantled, assembled or reworked. The aircraft was the seventh
built from a
kit by Australian
Aircraft and
Engineering Co at Mascot in 1921.
In November 1929 it went to R.J. Charleson
of Morwell,
Victoria and was
re-registered VH-UCZ.. It was
destroyed in a crash near
Smeaton, Victoria on 8 August 1930.
