Description

"VH-WYN" steel 4 propeller 12" aeroplane. Naively made, simple construction. Plane has a silver painted body. There are 2 stickers on each wing tip. One sticker reads "VH-WYN" and the other reads "Australian Airways." It has 4 3 bladed propellers. There is no branding, makers mark or any markings other than the 2 stickers.

Manufactured in Australia from 1920's-30's. West Australian Airways was in operation from 1921 to 1936. Acceptable Vintage Condition. Minor paint loss and rust. Was likely a wind up toy as it has the holes for the axles but just has the axle and wheels. There are 2 propellers missing. May be refurbished at buyer's discretion. Sourced within The Mornington Peninsula. Very rare and sought after.
