Rare photograph from the Neil Follett
collection (via Geoff Goodall) of a Fox Moth of Guinea
Airways at Wau circa
1934. First registered to de
Havilland Aircraft Pty Ltd at Mascot in
March 1933, it was sold in
October of that year to Guinea. Three years later, on 14 October
1935 it crashed at
Sandy Creek, NG and was stricken from the register. It was
rebuilt at the
end of 1937 and
received a new CofA only to crash again and be destroyed by the
resultant
fire at Surprise
Creek, NG on 12 March 1938.
