Description
Dr Clyde Fenton's aircraft DH60 Gipsy Moth VH-UOI in the Qantas hangar. Fenton, the Northern Territory's famed 'Flying Doctor' re-named the aircraft 'IOU' partly in recognition of the mortgage held over both this and previous aircraft. VH-UOI had been rolled into the Qantas hangar for an overhaul, originally to take 48 hours, however there was another machine, VH-UJN 'The Magic Carpet' available and accordingly the engineers suggested to Fenton that they carry out further work. VH-UOI was signed over as collateral on VH-UJN on 12 May 1935 to Jim Fawcett, agent for the mining company that had sold VH-UJN to Fenton for $450.,
