ABOUT THIS IMAGE

TitleBi-Plane 'G-AUGH' the Wunda, Noosa Main Beach, Noosa Heads, 1930sAdditional InformationOriginally imported in August 1927 for Qantas as G-AUGH.

In the early 1930s in Queensland with company name Sky Travel (Australia) Ltd, Brisbane on the nose and advertising WUNDA painted under the upper wings, this company set up an short-lived airline service from Brisbane to inland towns in November 1930 with Junkers F.13L VH-UPL Glorious Queensland, flown by T. H. Bishop, who had purchased this Moth in December 1927. Qantas had sold it at the end of 1927 to T.H. Bishop who 'transferred' it almost immediately to Mrs. D.E. Reis.

In February 1931 (by which time the aircraft had had a couple of mishaps) Qantas bought it back, only to sell it again in October 1932 to C.H. Ferris.

Following a take-off accident at Rocklea, Queensland in April 1933, it was stricken from the register.
