G-AUFD de Havilland
D.H.50A
(c/n [WAA 1])
Two "better than nothing" images of
G-AUFD. The one above was gleaned from the Perth
Western Mail of 30 December 1926 and
shows -UFD disembarking passengers at Maylands
aerodrome. The shot below
is reputed to be -UFD and is from the State Library of WA
archives. This D.H.50A was first registered on 1 December
1926 to Western Australian
Airways. Soon after its
acquisition by the airline it had its 230 hp Siddeley Puma engine
replaced
by an ADC Nimbus. The aircraft was written off when it
crashed at Geraldton,
WA on 23 December
1929.
