VH-BJD de
Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth (c/n 1034)
By the time I first
saw this Tiger at Moorabbin in 1956 it had already been relegated to
crop
dusting duties. Possibly it was an ex Aero
Club machine? It crashed at Swan Hill, Victoria
in 1976. If it spent twenty years as a crop
duster, it would have well exceeded its expected life
span. Geoff Goodall took a shot of it (below)
in the hangar at Mildura when it had just been
retired by Sunraysia Air Farmers
