VH-BGX  de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth         (c/n  DHA941/T222)

                           

                               The images above and below were both taken on the same day (27 October 1962) at Bankstown
                               by Brian Baker.    VH-BGX was built for the RAAF as A17-518..  It sustained damage at Darwin
                               on Christmas Day 1974, and to my knowledge, had not flown until it recently (2010) re-appeared
                               as VH-DHA, sans canopy.    Phil Vabre saw it as such at an Antique Air Show in April 2010 as
                               seen  in the shot seen at the foot of the page.  Note tight security.   I should think so, too.  Much
                               needed at an outback NSW high acivity field such as Griffith.    Must be loads of bad guys around
                               there I should think anxious to high-jack a Tiger Moth! .
