VH-UYO de
Havilland D.H.87B Hornet Moth (c/n 8111)
VH-UYO (named "Christopher Robin") was a common
sight around
Moorabbin in the mid
1950s.
Note
"square" wings on the "B" Model Hornet Moth. It bravely
participated in the
R.M. Ansett air race,
and Geoff Goodall photographed it at Parafield, Adelaide (below) right
after the race in
March 1964. Sadly it was written off three months
later (on 22 June 1964)
in a crash at Cardigan,
Victoria,
