VH-TIG de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth
(c/n
DHA466)

This was the former VH-AMH and was one of the
Australian-built Tigers for an order from
the Dutch East
Indies and was destined to have become PK-VVT.
In
the event it was
impressed into
RAAF service as A17-624 following the Japanese
invasion of the Dutch territory.
It was withdrawn
from service
in 1965 and restored as VH-TIG. The above shot, from the
CAHS archives
was taken at Berwick, Victoria in 1972, when its crop dusting days were
over
and it had been
converted back to a standard 2 seater. I believe it is now
dismantled and may
be in a hangar at Goulburn, NSW.
