VH-APK  de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth     (c/n  325)

                                 

                                       One of the Tasmanian Aero Club's Tigers outside the hangar at Western Junction, Launceston
                                       in 1953.   This Australian-built Tiger was formerly A17-306.  Tassie Aero Club sold it in 1955
                                       to Superspread Pty Ltd., a Melbourne-based aerial top dressing firm whereupon it was re-registered
                                       VH-SSM.  Can you imagine relegating such a distinguished old lady as this to such ignomious duties?
                                       It later wound up in South Australia as VH-TSD(1).
