VH-UUW de Havilland D.H.
87A Hornet Moth (c/n 8041)
The
D.H. 87A was the tapered wing model of the Hornet Moth. The D.H.
87B had square
tipped
wings. VH-UUW is seen here in the orange and navy
blue colors of
the Royal Aero
Club of NSW at
Bankstown in 1954. In the film I was using the black registration
letters are
barely
discernable over the dull orange fuselage. The
Tiger
Moth in back is also one of their
machines. The Geoff Goodall
collection photo below is interesting and shows
-UUW with
several RACNSW Tigers at an
air show at Broken Hill in 1948.
