VH-UJE Curtiss
Robin
(cc/n AB.34)
The above photo, and the one
at the foot of the page are both from the Frank Walters collection,
via Geoff
Goodall. Frank evidentally visited Mascot frequently in the
early 1930s. The above
image was at Mascot in 1934
whilst at the foot of the page the aircraft is seen also at Mascot but
in 1939
when it portrays a rather odd display of its registration. The
two shots immediately below
are from the Civil Aviation
Historical Society archives, circa 1937. Note old Airflite hangar
in the
upper
photo. -UJE
ended up in Papua New Guinea with Crowley Airways at Lae in the 1950s.
It was later (December 1954) re-registered VH-CSB. When quizzed
as to its fate, Laurie Crowley
reported to Geoff that
"she just wore out and we scrapped her".
