Tasmanian Aero Club who re-registered
it VH-KAC. These three (long

is
seen departing Pedder Beach in the early 1950s, while the image at the
foot of the page shows the line up

of the
line,
while the red Arrow is VH-KAM. The in
flight shot below with VH-KAM was taken from one
of the club's
Tiger Moths.
