VH-TIG de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth
(c/n
DHA466)
VH-TIG was the former VH-AMH and was one of the
Australian-built Tigers for an order
from the Dutch East
Indies and was destined to have become PK-VVT.
In
the event it
was impressed into
RAAF service as A17-624 following the Japanese
invasion of the Dutch
territory. It was withdrawn
from service
in 1965 and restored as VH-TIG. The nice shot
above is from Geoff Goodall
and was taken at Wodonga in September 1984. Greg Banfield's
,
action shot below was at Berwick, Victoria on 22 February
1975. Also
at Berwick, three
years
earlier is the CAHS archives collection B&W image
at the foot of the page. When its
crop dusting days were over it was
converted back to a standard 2 seater. I believe it is now
dismantled
and may be in a hangar at Goulburn, NSW.
