From the Moorabbin Air Museum's webpage: The Museum’s Gipsy Moth was built in 1929 and imported into Australia by de Havilland (Australia) in Melbourne and entered into the Register of Aircraft as VH-UKV. VH-UKV had several owners including Nancy Lyle of Victoria who purchased it in April 1931 and christened it "Diana". She was only the second Victorian woman to hold a pilot licence, and being the first woman to fly solo from Melbourne to Adelaide and later Melbourne to Tasmania. Barbara Hitchens of New South Wales purchased the aircraft in October 1937and christened it "Felicity" and among other things flew the aircraft to New Guinea in 1938, and in October 1939 the Broken Hill Aero Club purchased and operated it until it was impressed into the RAAF in 1940 as Gipsy Moth A7-79 and serving at No1 Elementary Flying Training School at Pt Cook until the end of 1944, coming off RAAF charge and later put up for disposal. Restored and re-registered VH-UKV in 1954, and following two changes of ownership was struck off the Register of Aircraft and donated to the Museum in 1965 as the first complete aircraft in the collection, where it is on display as "Diana".
