VH-BCN de Havilland
D.H.82A Tiger Moth
(c/n DHA876/T267)
Tiger -BCN was first civilianized in April of 1947 although early
photographs of it are rare. Rod
Adam's shot above
(via the Geoff Goodall collection) was taken at Albury in January 1964.
Geoff 's own shot of
it (below) was taken somewhat later at the 1983 Mangalore air show.
VH-BCN has had
a couple of "off the register"
periods: one in the early 1960s, and again from
1974 until
1982. Clearly it had just come out of the
refurbishment shop when Geoff saw it. It is
still current
and has been owned by Kenneth McClean of
Lavington, NSW for many years. Its
RAAF identity was
A17-459.
