VH-AOB  de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth                        (c/n  DHA391/T235)

                                     

                                         No date or locale for this image, from the Roger McDonald collection, of crash of a Newcastle
                                         Aero Club Tiger, although it was absent for from the register for five years from October 1947 to
                                         October 1952.   The above mishap does not look that extensive, however, so maybe it was later
                                         than that.  First civilianized in March 1946, this Tiger was the former A17-356.  It appears to
                                         have been withdrawn from club use in the mid 1950s.   In 1989 it reappeared as VH-LIZ and
                                         is still currently flying as such.
