                                         The first VH-BAA was this Tiger Moth used by Connellan Airways in support of a Flying
                                         Doctor Service contract right after WW II.   The aircraft had been modified by the RAAF
                                         as an air ambulance machine (A17-180).               Connellan acquired it in October 1946.
                                         It was reregistered VH-BOA in March 1949.  As such it crashed on 22 January 1953 at
                                         Darwin.  When restored as a standard two-seat Tiger it became VH-POL.
