VH-RVL (1)   de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth                                (c/n  DHA868)

                                  

                                         Here's -RVL "brand new" out of the paint shop at Moorabbin in May of 1955 (well,
                                         brand new for the Royal Vic, that is).  It had just been demobbed from A167-638
                                         (originally slated as one of the South African Tigers as DX836).       It was sold to
                                         to Latrobe Valley Aero Club in 1961 as VH-MOC.  A canopy was fitted and it was
                                         then sold as VH-KVH at the end of 1965. It is still current (with canopy). The -RVI
                                         in the background, incidentally, is the first one.
