Which is not it's actual registration.
I think you'll find that the Uiver is still at Albury in Australia,
awaiting restoration. See this URL:

Nor is this the aircraft you'd have us believe.

Both aircraft are dressed up as "Uiver", but neither of them are.
The real "Uiver" has long since left the skies, having crashed at Rutbah
Wells, Iraq in 1934.
