G-NZAV carried this registration only briefly because New Zealand adopted the ZK- prefix at the start of 1929. G-NZAV became the third aircraft to get this prefix when it became ZK-AAC on January 4. Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand

Became ZK-AAF when New Zealand adopted its own national prefix. Photo from: Museum of Transport and Technology

Registered in 1928 to Arthur Butler who went on start Butler Airways at Cootamunda. Became VH-UHY in 1932. Reported in 1940 as dismantled and stored at Toowoomba, Queensland. UHY changed hands a few times after that but under wartime restrictions is unlikely to have been flown. Struck off the register in 1946. The location is either New South Wales, where the aircraft was based in 1929, or Victoria. The scenery is typical of rural parts of both states. Photo from: State Library of Victoria
