THE SKY PILOT: A "Gipsy Moth," Sky Pilot, which has been put into use in mission work on the Roper River, Northern Australia, by the Rev. K. Langford Smith (in rear cockpit). The photo was taken from a Shell "Moth" after taking off from Essendon for its new field of operations.
Gipsy Moth VH-UJV c/n 846 was "Sky Pilot" of the Church Missionary Society, Arnhem Land, NT, carrying the Rev.Langford Smith on his parish rounds; the ideal answer to a scattered population spread over a large area. Built in 1928, 'UJV is seen to have become well worn, not to say battered, in this 1938 photo and in fact it survived to be impressed by the RAAF in 1940.
