VH-AJA de Havilland
D.H.82A Tiger Moth (c/n 629/T192)

If this Tiger had been built with the coupe
canopy it would, theroretically, have been a D.H.82C.
However, the cover had been fitted some time
prior to my taking this shot of it at Moorabbin in
1955. Geoff Goodall ran across it one day a decade later
(below) sitting in a farmer's paddock
near
Barham, NSW. I see he drove his Ford Zephyr up a dirt road to
take the shot of "That
Magnificent Flying Machine".
This
Tiger (ex RAAF A17-437) is still flying,
albeit sans canopy nowadays. For a nice
photograph
of it as
it now is, go to:
