EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Avro 618 Ten, registration number VH-UXX, affectionately named "Faith," as it soars through the clear blue Australian sky. The Avro 618 Ten, a single-engine biplane, was a popular design in the 1930s and 1940s, known for its sleek lines, robust construction, and impressive performance. Built in England in 1937, VH-UXX was one of only a handful of Avro 618 Tens that made their way to Australia. It was imported by the renowned aviator, Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith, who is famously known for his record-breaking trans-Pacific flight from Oakland, California, to Brisbane, Australia, in 1934. After its arrival in Australia, VH-UXX became a beloved part of the Australian aviation scene, participating in numerous air shows and aerobatic displays. Its striking red and white livery, adorned with the name "Faith," made it a crowd favorite. The Avro 618 Ten was a versatile aircraft, capable of both short takeoffs and landings, making it an ideal choice for bush flying in the outback. Its open cockpit design offered pilots an unobstructed view of the breathtaking Australian landscape, adding to the exhilarating experience of flying this iconic aircraft. This photograph captures a moment in time, showcasing the grace and beauty of the Avro 618 Ten as it cruises through the Australian sky. With its rich history and enduring legacy, VH-UXX, Faith, remains a cherished piece of Australian aviation history.
