VH-UKJ  de Havilland D.H.60G Gipsy Moth               (c/n  975)

                                     

                                           Ken Whytcross of Barellan NSW kindly sent me the original of this print of -UKJ.
                                           It came from his family's album, although he is not sure how it got there!  His father
                                           did become involved with aviation later on, as the owner of Cessna 182A Skylane
                                           VH-SNN.  Anyway. -UKJ was first registered on 4 April 1929 to Matthews Aviation
                                           Pty Ltd and spent most (although not all) of its early years at Essendon.  In 1938 it
                                           went to Winton, Queensland and just before WW II was owned by Mathesons
                                           Aviation and Training School at Archerfield.    In January 1940 it was impressed
                                           into the RAAF as A7-80.  It became INST Moth 7 and was struck off charge and
                                           scrapped in May 1946. .
