VH-AZG (1) de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth
(c/n
DHA383/T272)
Since this nice air-to-air image is
from the John Oxley Library, State Library of Queensland
collection, I suspect that it is, in fact, the first VH-AZG, since that
is the era from which most
of
the collection stems. However, both iterations of this
rego may well have been painted in
full Royal Queensland Aero Club tail stripes. VH-AZG the second
was ex VH-BCV and
went to
the club in March 1955. If, in fact, this Tiger is ex A17-348,
it is the one which came
to
grief in an accident on 9 November 1947 (same year it was first
registered) and was written
off at
Clifton, Qld.
