G-AUKH  Sopwith Dove                               (c/n  WO 3004/5)

                                 

                                      Interesting shot, from the Geoff Goodall collection, taken at the 1922 Motor Exhibition held in the
                                      Exhibition building in Melbourne.  As can be seen in the original of the image (below) the aircraft
                                      was displayed under an advertising sign confirming that its owner was Larkin Aircraft Supply Co
                                      of Melbourne who were very active as Sopwith agents for Australia at the time.   The Dove was
                                      a two seat civilian variant of the Pup.  Only 10 were built.   G-AUKH was withdrawn from use
                                      in 1925, although remained on the register until '28. .
