Photo Comment

VH-ABU behind the house on Brighton Road where it was stored. The house was demolished in 1969. ABU's owners assumed it destroyed but it had been towed away. It then changed hands several times always with a view to restoration and at one stage its original registration VH-UPA was reserved. Now displayed at the Hinkler museum in Bundaberg, Queensland, painted as CF-APK in which Bert Hinkler was killed in Italy in 1933.
