VH-RNI (2) de Havilland D.H.82A
Tiger
Moth
(c/n DHA108/T35)

A17-111 was civilianized in July 1951 as
VH-ALH. It became VH-RNI upon
joining the Royal
Newcastle Aero Club
in 1966, and is still owned by them. Barry Maclean's shot above
was taken
at Richmond, NSW in
October 1991, whilst that below is much earlier, and was shot by John
Clark at
the 1968 Aviation Expo at the RNAC, following the rebuild after its
re-registration from
VH-ALH.
Incidentally, this aircraft* can I believe, be chartered for a mere
A$330.00 an
hour.
* John, who sent the lower shot, was
instrumental in the early days of Luskintyre Aviation, the
Tiger Moth rebuild enterprise, and advises that -RNI crashed at Taree
in 1970 and the existing
machine
contains parts (evidently enough to retain the c/n) of the original
machine.
