VH-RVD
(2) de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth
(c/n DHA1066)
Ex A17-736, VH-RVD
the second was first registered in January 1957 This lovely
evocative shot is from Barrie Colledge who took it whilst on a trip to
Mount Gambier
in January 1958.
Three members went up there and flew it (in turn) over the Blue
Lake. In 1958 the club had
begun painting individual aircraft letters on the cowling.
Note that the first VH-RVD doesn't have
this nicety. After being sold by the Aero
Club this Tiger
became VH-KNM and was
ultimately written off in a crash at Tumut
in 1960.
