VH-RTB de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger
Moth
(c/n DHA843)
First registered (ex
A17-711) in June 1954 as VH-BFF, this Tiger was reregistered VH-DDW
in October 1955. In October 1958 it was reregistered
again as VH-FHJ and then again as
-RTB in March 1961. Oddly, I have never gleaned an image of it in
any of its previous identities,
although I believe that most of the time it resided in SA. It was
off the register from 1975 to 1982
before being
restored. The photos above and below
were taken by Danny Tanner at Parafield
in March 1987 with the Tiger
sporting Associated Tourist
Services titling. -RTB was withdrawn
from use in January
2003. Being this recent, I
would be surprised if bits and pieces of it don't
remain.
