The above is a lovely J.T. Harrison/RAAF
photo from the CAHS collection taken over
. Cootamundra, circa
1940-41. This Rapide was ex-VH-UUO impressed into service
in July 1940. (It was released back into ANA
use in 1942). Seven ex civil register
Rapides saw service with the RAAF
during the war. The one below is possibly A33-3,
ex VH-UFF. This shot is from the
Goulburn War Memorial Museum archives.
