EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the rear view of a De Havilland DH50 Jupiter aircraft, specifically belonging to the Australian aviation pioneer, Qantas, as it rests peacefully on the ground. The De Havilland DH50, also known as the Moth Major, was a biplane designed by Geoffrey de Havilland and first flew in 1931. This particular aircraft was a significant addition to Qantas' fleet, contributing to the growth and development of Australian aviation. The DH50 was a versatile aircraft, used primarily for training pilots and passengers for longer flights. Its open-cockpit design and biplane configuration were a common sight during the early days of aviation. The aircraft's distinctive rounded fuselage and wingtips can be clearly seen in this photograph, as well as the registration number "VH-UBJ" proudly displayed on the tail. The history of Qantas and the De Havilland DH50 are intertwined, with this aircraft playing a crucial role in the evolution of Australian aviation. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when flying was an adventure and the open skies held endless possibilities. The De Havilland DH50 may no longer be in commercial use, but its legacy lives on, inspiring a new generation of aviators and aviation enthusiasts.
