Keith Virtue obtained his pilot's license age 19 and here a year later he has gone into business with his brother to operate this Moth as Virtue's Air Travel. The Moth then flew with Australian National Airways from November 1936 to June 1940. It was later impressed as A7-105 and wrecked in a mid-air collision with A7-110 at Essendon/Vic on 1 October 1940.
