GASML, I have finally found my copy of Ross Gillett’s book “Australia’s Military Aircraft” which claims to be the “First ever complete analysis of all the aircraft that have served with Australia’s Army, Navy and Air Force.” (1987, Aerospace Publications Pty Ltd)
There is not mention of a Luton minor in Australian service. This book covers all the impressed civil aircraft too. So either Gillett missed this aircraft in his ‘complete analysis’ or the story is pie in the sky?
