                               VH-PCI was a UK-built Tiger shipped out to Australia from RAF stock, serialed R5264, an identity
                               it retained with the RAAF during WW II.  It was civilianized in 1947 as VH-BCB.  When Air Agri-
                               cultural Control purchased it in 1955 as a cropduster it became VH-PCI.   Geoff Goodall Took the
                               above shot at Beverley, WA in November 1980, after its farm duties were done.  Somewhere along
                               the way it acquired a canopy.  It is still current in West Australia and registered to a private owner.
                               Geoff's shot (below) taken at Wongan Hills aerodrome Nov 1975 shows it in a much more striking
                               red & black paint scheme.
