VH-ACT (1) de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth
(c/n 82293)
VH-ACT was imported just as WW II broke
out to be used for the civilian training of RAAF pilots
under the EFTS
scheme. As such it was registered to Spencers Gulf Aero Club on 9
February, 1940.
It
had previously been allocated the UK rego G-AFZC but probably never
carried it. The image
above is
from the Geoff Goodall collection, whilst that below is from the CAHS
archives showing it
in war
time camouflage. Sadly, -ACT was lost
without trace over the waters of Spencers Gulf, SA
on
6
June 1943.
