The all-white VH-URH being loaded aboard the MV Macdhui for transport to Rabaul. It was a replacement for crashed Genairco VH-UNY but because General Aircraft was no longer in business, was built by Tugan Aircraft. Parts from -UNY used in the new aircraft. Genairco's own cabin model was like a Fox Moth, with the pilot in an open cockpit behind the cabin. Tugan put the pilot in the cabin with the passengers. By June 1934 Rabaul Airways was out of business and -URH abandoned in a shed by Rabaul Harbour.
