ABOVE: Ex A30-14 was
purchased by the Dutch
Dakota Association in
1987 and has not been
restored, as was the
original intention.
Although allocated the
registration of PH-AJU by
the Dutch civil aviation
authorities, it is only
chalked on the fuselage,
as is ‘Uiver’ on the nose.
The RAAF roundel is still
visible on fuselage, as
seen here in December

wearing ‘Uiver’ markings

‘Uiver’ made a few goodwill flights in Australia during the
short time it remained in the country after the race.
