"... VH-UUB was delivered to Holymans Airways Pty Ltd at Launceston, Tasmania in September of 1935 and named "Loila" (aborigine for "sky"). When ANA took over from Holymans at the end of 1936 this DH 86 was transferred to their asset register. It served them well until the outbreak of war and was then impressed into military service with the RAAF, becoming A31-3. It was destroyed by a fire on 14 April 1942. ..."
