VH-ATN de
Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth (c/n DHA100)

Another Tiger with a canopy. This Tiger is still on
the register (based in NSW), although is not,
at the present time,
flyable. The provenance of my image, (above) has been lost, but I
suspect it
was at Mascot circa
1950. Geoff Goodall's shot (immediately below #2) was taken
at Parafield,
Adelaide in 1965.
This
Tiger was ex-RAAF A17-103
and was the 100th DHA machine built
at Bankstown.
It didn't always have a canopy
in its civilian life as evidenced by the photograph
# 3 from the Graeme
Parsons collection. This was taken at Camden in 1948. The
lady in the
center is
Graeme's mother. The bloke on her right (leather jacket) is Emlyn
"Brud" Rees (not
from
Wales, I don't suppose, was he?) who
later had a seaplane (VH-AKD) with which he did
some fish spotting
"up north".
Clearly some aerial shenanigans
were holding their attention.
Finally, at the
foot of the page (# 4) is an air-to-air shot of -ATN taken by Geoff
near Benalla,
Victoria in February
1975
