VH-AAM
D.H.94 Moth Minor (c/n 94002)

It's c/n would indicate that this was the second Moth
Minor built. It was certainly the first VH-AAM,
being registered in
1939. "Aspaxadrene" was the forerunner of the modern day
Ventolin, a must for
asthma sufferers, so I assume that this aircraft was owned
by a drug company (or distributor) at the
time. However, it's hardly what one would call an
"executive"
transport. Some 74 of these "monoplane
Tiger Moths" had been built at Hatfield when WW II broke
out, and all the jigs, dies and tooling
were bundled off to Sydney where production was resumed,
some 41 more of them being built by
DHA for the
RAAF. For some reason VH-AAM appears never to have been
impressed into RAAF
service. Its
fuselage, at least, was still in existence into the new
millennium.
