Brian, was that the aircraft that an Australian doctor and offsider flew from Sydney to London in the early 1960s?

The doctor wrote a book about it called, I think, "Two Men In A Flying Machine" of which I have a copy but not to hand at present.

Some years ago I met the author when he was passing through Cambridge in Tasmania and he told me that the aircraft was then in a British collection as he had sold it at the end of his trip. For the life of me I can't remember his name. I do recall that he was killed in an aircraft crash a few years later.
