VH-UZT  de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth                    (c/n  3632)

                               

                                   Until some contibutor can oblige me with a better image, I'll offer up this cropped photograph of
                                   the Tiger -UZT as being in the  "better than nothing" category   The occassion for this photo was
                                   the first landing at Braefiled aerodrome (south of Quirindi?) the day before it was officially opened
                                   on 3 November 1939.  Were the ladies relatives of the intrepid airmen?   This Tiger had been
                                   delivered new to the Newcastle Aero Club in 1938.   By July 1940 it was flying in the RAAF as
                                   A17-677.     Post war it was acquired by A.L.D. Carter of Tamworth, NSW and then sold to
                                   East West Airlines' who sold it on to Air-Agricultural Control in 1949.   In November 1950 it
                                   was re-registered in Air-Agricultures series as VH-PCF.
