Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth
(c/n
613)
Here's a
Q.A.A.T.S. (Queensland Aerial Ambulance Transport Service) Tiger Moth
outside the
office of that
organization at Archerfield, circa 1947. This is a rare
photograph
inasmuch as this
Tiger was damaged in
a crash at Kenilworth, Queensland, on Christmas Day, 1948. John
Unwin,
who was an
engineer for Q.A.A.T.S. at the time took the shot of it below.
One thing is for sure,
it certainly would not have
been "written off" today! It hardly look damaged. However,
back in
1948 Tiger's were, if not "two a
penny", certainly very plentiful and at reasonable prices!
