SAKE  de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth                         (c/n  ?)

                                 

                                        In 1938 a score or so of Tiger Moths was imported for various flying clubs.   This one went to
                                        the Johannesburg Light Plane Club at Baragwanath.        Oddly, the serial numbers of many of
                                        these aircraft have not been identifiable within the batch.  Hence the ? on the c/n.   ZS-AKE
                                        was, along with many other civil aircraft, impressed into the SAAF in 1940.  It became serial
                                        1330  There is no record of it surviving the war.  Photo above from the Douglas Mail collection.
