                                     Cowra, NSW based company, and Geoff's shot shows it at the end of its agricultural career.
                                     For a duster, this Tiger was somewhat unique inasmuch as it sported a canopy.  It was one of
                                     the hybrid Tigers made up of bits and pieces by Lawrence Engineering & Sales Pty Ltd of
                                     Camden, NSW in the early 1960s.  Although active into the new millennium, the current status
                                     of VH-WFD is unknown.
