This VH-UQE was damaged on October 4, 1982 at Gunning, NSW. It was restored three years later as VH-UVX which had been its original registration. Just to confuse things, there was an earlier Avian registered VH-UQE that had crashed in 1947. It returned to the register in 1993 as VH-UQE (c/n R3/CN/531 refers).
