VH-AAQ was an aircraft rebuilt by the Aero Club of NSW at Mascot during the war when acquiring replacement aircraft required desperate measures. It was based on the wreck of Moth VH-UHQ which was badly burnt in a hangar fire at Wagga 10DEC1939. The rebuilt aircraft was designated a D.H.60GIII Moth Major (with c/n 1) and was test flown on 14DEC1943. It continued to fly with the RACNSW for almost exactly two years until it crashed.
