VH-RVA (2)   de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth                    (c/n  82802)

                                   

                                        Originally built as R4885 for the RAF, used by the RAAF with same serial, and civilianized
                                        as VH-AQA.    My shot at Moorabbin in 1956.                                        
                                        Barrie Colledge advises that this aircraft can be identified from VH-RVA(1) by the presence
                                        of navigation lights on the wings, since it was equipped for night flying (VH-RVA(1) wasn't).
                                        This Tiger was damaged beyond repair and withdrawn from use in 1957.
