VH-SSE (1)  de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth                             (c/n 82774)

                              
                           
                                    This was previously was VH-AIT  (which was originally to have been VH-AFM - not taken
                                    up).   Super Spread acquired it in April  1954.  My shot at Moorabbin was  in June of that
                                    year.     This second -SSE crashed on 6 Feb 1960 near Myrtleford Vic, while crop dusting.
                                    The aircraft struck power lines from a height of 150ft.    The pilot suffered minor injuries but
                                    the aircraft was totalled.                                   
                           
                                   Incidentally the first VH-SSE was c/n 97 (A17-100) and ex VH-ARN.      It was damaged
                                   beyond repair in a crash in September 1954.  I doubt I'll ever glean a shot of it.
