VH-UUN B.A. Swallow
II
(c/n 414)
This Swallow
was owned by
Charles A. Goodsell, of Lucinda Station, Grenfell, NSW when the
above photo (from the John
Hopton collection) was taken at West Wyalong, NSW. The aircraft
was
named 'Lucinda', after
the homestead.. It had originally been registered
to J.J.
Conolly in
November
1935. This photo is thought to have been taken shortly
before the aircraft was
struck
off the
register in February 1946. Correspondent David Bevan advises
(2013) that VH-UUN was
acquired by a party in
New Zealand in the early 1990s and is destined for restoration at some
time
in the future,
with a Pobjoy power plant up front. The contemporary
photo below shows the old
bird
being worked on in New Zealand.
