Photo Comment
The Moth used by Maude "Lores" Bonney for several epic flights including the first woman to fly solo from Australia to the UK, which she did in 1933. After Bonney replaced the aircraft with a Klemm, the Moth passed through a couple of owners until impressed by the RAAF in 1940 as A7-81. It was sold to an aero club after World War II, presumably as spare parts because it did not return to the register.
