VH-UUH B.A. Swallow II
(c/n 407)
This less than spectacular image is from the
Frank F. Smith collection (courtesy of John Hopton)
and depicts a B.A. Swallow first registered in
September 1935 to the Newcastle Aero Club at
Broadmeadow. When owned by A.W. McKenzie of
Melbourne in 1941 it had its original
Pobjoy
Cataract engine swapped out for a Genet Major Mk I. This
photo would appear to
show it with
the Genet. VH-UUH was badly damaged by high winds at Mascot in
November
1941 and seems
not to have flown again, although it was not officially stricken from
the register
until 1946.
