VH-FBO
is a
Hatfield built Tiger first imported into Australia early in 1957 as
VH-RSE for the
Royal Aero Club of South
Australia. It was formerly with the RAF as R5023. The
shot above
was taken
by Geoff Goodall at Cunderdin, WA in May 1970 whilst the Tiger was
being restored
back to a two seater following a long
career as an agricultural machine, latterly with Western Aerial
Services
of Cunderdin. The contemporary shot (below) was taken by
Arthur Withy at Truro Flats
Airpark (South
Australia) in May of 2006 showing the Tiger once more flying as
R5023.
