| An
Adastra Flying School Gipsy Moth, almost certainly VH-UOQ, at what
is believed to be an Air Pageant held by the Australian Flying Corps
Association at Mascot on Saturday 29 November 1930. Several races
were held during the event which would explain the number 33 on
the rudder of the Gipsy Moth. The A.F.C.A. Memorial Air Race was
won by Captain F.W. Follett in a Gipsy Moth. Second place in the
Lady Pilots' Race went to Miss E.N. Follett (Frank Follett's sister)
in a Gipsy Moth. It is reasonable to assume
that both flew this same aircraft although newspaper reports do
not record aircraft registrations or race numbers. Picture: SLNSW, Hood Collection part II, Box 058, no. 021 Research: David Carter Source: The Telegraph, Brisbane, Monday 1 December 1930 |
