08/12/2006. Remarks by John Hopton: "This was one of several examples constructed under license by the Avro company as the model 618 Ten (so named because it carried ten passengers). It was lost without trace on March 21, 1931 and not discovered until October 26, 1958 in the Snowy Mountains, New South Wales."
