Built as an A-101, at the time of the accident VH-UHV had been fitted with a Kinner K-5 radial like the later A-129. The aircraft was on a shark patrol when the engine failed. The pilot glided towards Harbord Park but children prevented him landing. The pilot called to the children clear the park. UHV stalled and crashed in scrubland adjoining the park on second approach. Pilot and passenger injured. The area around the park now completely built out and the park is likely a lot smaller than it was in 1935.
