VH-RVI (1)
de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger
Moth
(c/n DHA154/T215)
VH-RVI
was the former VH-BOF, reregistered into the Royal Vic's series in
1954. Originally
civilianized in 1950,
ex A17-137. It was sold off in 1956 and, like several other
RVIC Tigers
was converted to a crop duster, becoming VH-ASC. A year later,
again like many dusters,
it was destroyed in a crash. This one at Buchan, Victoria.
My shot was taken on a dismal
day at Moorabbin in June, 1955.
