VH-AEB de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth
(c/n DHA369)
Here's a line-up of Tigers at an air
show at Parafield, Adelaide, circa 1950. Many of those visible
in this image
from the Geoff Goodall collection were owned by Robbys Aircraft Co at
the time.
VH-AEB was kind of an odd-ball, identity -wise. It was in the
middle of a batch of Tigers which
went to
the Indian Government in 1941 and were civlly registered on the VT-
register, but slated
for use to train
WW II pilots. For some reason c/n 369 was diverted from
that fate and was civilly
registered in Australia and went to the Broken Hill Flying Club in
April 1941 as VH-AEB. It was
finally
withdrawn from use in 1961 after having many on again, off again lapses
with its CofA in the
1950s..
