                                   registered to Qantas in June 1929.     It was sold to S. Zlotkowski of Muttaburra, Qld two
                                   months later, suggesting that the airline was also a de Havilland aircraft dealer/representative
                                   at the time.    Qantas bought it back in May 1930.   In 1937 it was sold to Light Aeroiplanes
