VH-RJA de
Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth
(c/n AW/A/16)

This Tiger put in an appearance at the February 1975 Berwick (Victoria
Air Show, where Geoff
Goodall took the above image. The almost identical B&W
photo below (at least as far as position)
was taken
by David Tanner. VH-RJA was one of the
Tigers
built from spares by Airwork at
Archerfield, Queensland in the late 1950s. It was
previously registered VH-MBC (and VH-AWJ
before that). For a
while it was painted in the inevitable RAAF yellow ''war-bird' look,
but has
now been repainted
back to a plain silver with yellow cowling, as seen in Ian McDonell's
contemp-
orary (July
2016) shot below taken at Clifton, Queensland.
