VH-UYS Rearwin 9000L Sportster
(c/n 535D)

The above shot, from the Civil
Aviation Historical Society archives (Len Dobbin collection) shows
this neat little Sportster just after it had been registered in
1937. No 2 shot is from Lawrence Roche
and shows it with a reversed color scheme
probably in the western diustrict of Victoria early post-
war when it was
owned by Percy Parker.possibly early post-war. By the time I saw it at
Moorabbin
(No 3) in 1954
it was somewhat weathered, with a black registration over a dark red
paint job, plus
the rego really
needed a repaint! When Geoff
Goodall saw it at Stawell in September
1966
(bottom of the page) it had had a complete
re-paint and was then owned by
Rob Nuttall of Edenhope
Victoria. This
machine became part of the ill-fated Wangaratta
Air World collection, but I am not
sure of
its current
fate/condition.
