VH-UVH was never officially registered after it was badly damaged before the process was completed. It was owned by famed aviator Jimmy Melrose when it force landed near Bundanoon, New South Wales, on December 3, 1935 injuring Melrose and tearing the wing off the Gull. The wreckage was taken to Sydney (Mascot) airport. Recovered, Melrose sailed to the UK and bought a Heston Phoenix in which he would killed in July 1936. The application for registration of the Gull was withdrawn and -UVH reallocated to a Porterfield.
