Uiver - race course
In 1934 the KLM DC2 Uiver (PH-AJU) participated in an air race between Mildenhall UK and Melbourne. The plane got lost over Albury NSW. Landed on a race course illuminated by car lights. The NSW town of Albury remembers this event with a memorial at the renovated airport cafe. They had a replica "Uiver" in the airport forecourt until 2008. That replica now is "moored" in a corner of the airfield, together with the Piper Navajo that followed it 50 years later.
