EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland DH50A, registration G-AUAY (later VH-UAY), a historic biplane that once graced the skies of Australia. The image, taken during its tenure with West Australian Airways, captures the aircraft's timeless elegance and engineering brilliance. The de Havilland DH50A, also known as the "Moth Major," was a two-seat, open-cockpit biplane trainer and tourer, designed by R.J. Mitchell and built by de Havilland Aircraft Company in the United Kingdom. Its distinctive rounded wings and open cockpit design made it a popular choice among aviators and enthusiasts. G-AUAY was one of the first DH50As to be exported to Australia, arriving in 1933. It was later registered as VH-UAY and became a part of the West Australian Airways fleet. The aircraft saw extensive use in the region, providing flight instruction and passenger transport services. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of vintage aircraft and the rich history of aviation in Australia. The de Havilland DH50A, with its graceful lines and powerful presence, continues to inspire awe and admiration among aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
