VH-BVB  (3)  de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth               (c/n  85829)

                               
                              

                                  Theoretically, since this machine was first registered in Australia in 1980 it falls outside the normal
                                  time frame for inclusion in my selections.  However, since I have it as ZK-BBG, its previous identity,
                                  I'll make an exception!    Geoff Goodall's photo above was at Tyabb in December of 1989, whilst
                                  Phil Vabre's shot (below) was some two decades later in November 2008 and shows the aircraft
                                  still looking pristine in an almost early D.H. livery.   -BVB was imported from NZ by Ken Orrman
                                  as a crash rebuild project and sold to Ms. Judy Pay who has owned it since November 1980
