VH-AFV
de Havilland D.H.94 Moth
Minor
(c/n 94088)
In addition to the
five VH- registered Moth Minors before WW II, an additional 14
ex-military
machines found their way onto the register
after hostilities had ceased. One of these
was
VH-AFV, which was
formerly A21-15. Almost
100 of these 'monoplane Tiger Moths' were
constructed in both the UK and Australia in
the 1930s and
1940s. This shot was taken at
Moorabbin in 1954,
just after it had been rebuilt with the fuselage of VH-AED. Since DCA
took the c/n from
the fuselage this meant that, in effect, this machine had its c/n
changed to be
94008. Frank Walters' shot below was taken in 1958,
presumably at Moorabbin.
