VH-UMM  Airco D.H.9                                             (c/n unknown)

                                  

                                     The only photos I have been able to glean of this Airco D.H.9 are the one below, unearthed
                                     by the indubitable Graeme Parsons from the Adelaide Register News-Pictorial for May 23,
                                     1930, and the one above of the machine in its former guise as A6-19.      The photo below,
                                     frankly, looks fake........maybe airbrushed back in time.   Anyway -UMM was registered to
                                     the Aero Club of South Australia in January 1930.        Two years later it was Struck Off
                                     Register as being Not Airworthy .
