VH-UQN  de Havilland D.H.60G Gipsy Moth                (c/n  1  McC)

                                

                                     This is a totally fake photograph, but is included for completeness sake.   VH-UQN was a
                                     Gypsy Moth built by J.H. McConnell of Sydney whether from basket case parts or from a
                                     kit I am not sure.      In the event, I have not been able to glean an image of it as -UQN.
                                     Anyway, it was registered in May 1932 to Reginald Annabel a Rockdale, NSW dairyman
                                     who christened it "Spirit of Fun Junior"   Annabel was a bit of a dare-devil pilot who flew
                                     around Australia in another Moth ("Miss Australia") and even flew under the Harbour
                                     Bridge.  Sadly, he was killed at Mascot Aerodrome on 8 July 1934 when  -UQN stalled
                                     in a loop about 300 ft above the ground, and exploded into flames.
                                     Remember, there are Old Pilots and there are Bold Pilots, but there are very few Old AND
                                     Bold Pilots.
