VH-ALH
(1) de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth
(c/n DHA108/T35)
This Tiger was the former A17-111. It is seen above in this shot
by Darryl Connell (via Geoff
Goodall) at the old Newcastle airfield
of Broadmeadow in August 1961 while in use with the
Royal Newcastle
Aero Club. Note club badge on the rudder.
Broadmeadow closed soon
after this photo
was taken because the land was wanted for expanding housing, and the
club
moved to Rutherford airfield at West Maitland
where it is still based today. The photo below,
by Greg Banfield, shows it at
Williamtown, NSW in 1964.. VH-ALH was re-registered
VH-RNI
in 1966.
