                               This is the ill fated VH-UYC which crashed into Mt. Dandenong on October 25, 1938 the crew
                               becoming disoriented in heavy cloud on a flight from Adelaide to Melbourne.  The aircraft was
                               originally imported for Airlines of Australia Ltd in 1937 who named it 'Kyeema'.   It was trans-
                               ferred to Australian National Airlines in January 1937.    For a complete description of the fatal
