Photo Comment

Built by De Havilland Australia and taken on RAAF charge as A17-588 on 25 July 1942. Spent most of its wartime life at 10 EFTS, Temora. Kept for post-war use at Point Cook and finally retired in 1957. Civil registered as VH-GMF on 27 June 1958 but a few years later re-registered VH-RIN(2) (replacing another Tiger Moth) on 12 September 1961. Converted to an Ag Tiger for a while, but restored back to standard configuration by 1969 (probably from July 1966 to May 1968 when it was off Register). Off the Register again from December 1978 to December 1997 for another restoration.
