Remarks: 'Riama' arriving at the Wide Bay International Airshow. Built in 1934 and registered G-ACRF, VH-UXG was first imported into Australia in April 1936. Written off after crashing and burning at Archerfield in 1954, she rose Phoenix-like from the ashes. Tragically, crashed again and was destroyed on 1 October 2012 near Gympie, Qld.
