G-AUFI   de Havilland D.H.60 Moth                (c/n  277,278 or 279)

                                   
   
                                       This is a completely fake photograph, included in this registration for completeness sake*. 
                                   .   G-AUFI was another of the hybrid Moths, assembled by WA Airways Ltd from components
                                       of three other airframes.  They were operated by Perth Flying School at Maylands. One might
                                       conjecture that -UFI had some hidden defects inasmuch as it was certified on 15 February
                                       1927 and crashed at East Perth, WA some five months later (18 July 1927) when it spun in
                                       from 2000 ft and struck an electrical power pole whilst being flown solo by student pilot
                                       Ray Wilson.  Sadly Mr. Wilson was killed..  In fact, in retrospect the aircraft itself was
                                       probably up to snuff, since I was taught on Tiger Moths that the absolute minimum altitude
                                       in which to begin spins was 3000'
                                       *  If a photo of G-AUFI was actually ever taken, I have been unable to glean one, despite
                                      searches on sundry Western Australian publication archives.
