                                  This aircraft was the next on the production line after VH-UOD shown previously.
                                  (VH-UOE was an Avro Avian).   Its resemblance to a D.H. 60G can readily be seen.
                                  It did, however, have two seats, side-by-side, in the front cockpit.  This Genairco was
                                  fitted with a 105 hp Cirrus Hermes.  In the elongated image below from the Frank Walters

                                  Photo No 3 is from the Fairfax archives (via the NLA) illustrating the Genairco when flown
                                  by its first owner, Colonel Andrew Cunningham of Queanbeyan, NSW in 1930.  At the

                                  Belmont Common Aerodrome, Geelong after collision with a cow (didn't do the cow too
                                  much good, either).  The aircraft was repaired after this accident, and was ultimately destr-
                                  oyed by fire at Camden, NSW in 1947.
