About this Photo

Description:

One wing is folded on the Moth 'Minor'.  It was designed as a 'club' aeroplane, and it is easy to imagine it being towed home behind a 1930's vintage car to be stored in the garage at home!

It is significant that things were so desperate for Australia during World War Two that this aircraft was 'impressed' into the Royal Australian Air Force for service, along with 42 'new build' Minors specifically for military duty.
