VH-AWA  de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth                              (c/n  DHA824)

                                                         
                                       
                                  This aircraft was previously the Tamworth Aero Club's VH-TWA, and A17-692 with the RAAF
                                  before that.  It became VH-AWA the second in March of 1961, the first -AWA being, of course,
                                  the Airlines (WA) Ltd Dove.  Neville Parnell took the above shot at Camden, NSW in November
                                  1962.  Geoff Goodall found it in the hangar at Coffs Harbour, NSW in September 1968 (immed-
                                  iately below).      John Wheatley's shot (# 3) shows it wearing what appears to be some aero club
                                  stripes (although I don't think they were) circa 1971.   It is now part of the RAAF Museum's flying
                                  exhibits and, as can be seen in the shot at the foot of the page by Barry Maclean taken at Pt. Cook
                                  in April 2006, the aircraft has been restored to its WW II air force colors.
