Photo Comment
Written off after a forced landing at Redcliffe in Perth on October 11, 1933. Photo likely towards the beginning of the date range. The word AIRWAYS was not on the nose when it crashed. The unreliability of the engines fitted had seen WAA fit different versions of the Jupiter and different propellers, often on one side only.
