VH-AUD  (1)   de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth                (c/n  DHA984)

                             

                                    This Tiger was probably with an aero club before I caught it at Moorabbin one day in 1956.
                                    Clearly it was going through the 'suck in' procedure before the prop swing.    -AUD was
                                    written off in a crash at Myrtleford, Victoria, in 1958, probably whilst crop dusting. 
                                    Incidentally, all of the original VH-AU-  series were also war surplus Tigers.   Vast numbers
                                    of these ubiquitous biplanes were released to the civilian market after the war.  Many of them
                                    were never actually converted, despite having registrations allotted.
