ZK-AIT  de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth            (c/n   DHNZ64)

                                 

                                     If this were a nice sharp image it would be an evocative shot of a Tiger under the nose of another one,
                                     with classic cars in the background to boot.  As it is, this is the best I can do with this blurry snapshot
                                     of ZK-AIT of the Marlborough Aero Club (of Whenaupai) at Hastings, circa 1952.  This aircraft was
                                     a locally-built Tiger, ex NZ814.  It was sold to Airlift NZ Ltd, of Wellington in 1954 and converted
                                     to a topdresser.  ZK-AIT was written off when it crashed into trees near Ekatahuna on 30 June 1955.
