VH-AIT de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger
Moth
(c/n 82774)

This photo
was taken around late 1951 at Moorabbin by Daryl Mackenzie outside one
of the
new
hangars erected there after RVAC had made the move from
Essendon. A UK-built Tiger,
this aircraft retained its
RAF serial of R4842 during the war. It was to have been
civilianized
as VH-AFM(3) but for some
reason this was not taken up, and it became -AIT in June 1950.
Acquired by Super Spread, it was reregistered VH-SSE in April 1954.
