VT-DOX de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth
(c/n 86090)
VT-DOX was one of a number of 'late model' Tigers seconded
to the Royal Indian Air Force after
WW II. Ex EM896, it
became HU492 with the RIAF. It was probably with the Madras Aero
Club
when this shot, from the John Havers collection, was
taken. In the background are VT-DPB (c/n
85737, ex DE839, HU708) and
VT-DOZ (c/n 86267, ex NL808, HU504) All three
were among
a batch of at leasst eight
repatriated to the U.K. in 1979 and subsequently restored and sold in
South
Africa in 1999.
VT-DOX flies today at ZS-PBC,
