In September 1934, VH-URX was registered to MMA at Maylands Aerodrome, Perth WA and named The Gascoyne. It was extensively damaged following a crash in NW Australia but was repaired and resumed flying.

The Airforce requisitioned it in 1939 for the Second World War and changed its registration to A34-1. It eventually crashed into the sea off Dongara, WA in 1942 and was permanently lost.

We have a DVD of Kris Brimmell’s 2012 talk on the rescue of RMA Gascoyne.
