VH-ALP (2)   de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth               (c/n  DHA180)

                                  

                                        This was the former VH-APT which was withdrawn from service in 1962.  It was rebuilt in
                                        1981 by Keith Ginman (a Qantas LAME at the time) and given the second iteration of -ALP
                                         when re-registered in 1983, the marking -APT having been allocated in the meantime to a
                                         Cherokee. The above shot is from the John Hopton collection and depicts the restored Tiger
                                         at Morwell, Victoria in 1984.  VH-ALP is no longer current, although is, I believe, merely
                                         awaiting an inspection for re-registration (as of 2009).
