ZK-BBB  de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth         (c/n    3406)
   
                                 

                                     Another truly woeful image.  This Tiger was operated by the Auckland Aero Club among
                                     whose fleet it reposes here.   However, this is a very old and rare Tiger, being the pre-war
                                     G-ADOM.  It was impressed into service in September 1940 as BB679 and became
                                     G-AMRC when re-civilianzed in 1952.  It  shipped out to New Zealand in June of that year. 
                                     It was written off in a rather bizarre accident on 22 April 1956 when the tailskid fouled a glider
                                     towrope at Ardmore aerodrome, resulting in its crashing and being damaged beyond repair.
