OF AVIATION
GereThis aircraft was designed in the USA by George Gere Jr in the early 1930's as a small, rugged, single seat biplane, capable of being built by amateur enthusiasts. The emphasis was placed on simplicity with the construction being a fabric covered, welded tube fuselage and wings of composite wood and metal. A variety of engines of small output, both radial and inline could be used and the simple construction and readily available plans resulted in the Gere being built in many countries. The Museum's example was built in Australia by F/O D Milne whilst stationed at the RAAF base at Mildura, Victoria. The aircraft was donated to the Sydney Technical College in October 1943 where it remained as an instructional airframe until acquired by the museum on July 1970. The aircraft is in storage. |
