Following restoration, it was registered VH-PWS(3) on 14 March 1995 as VH-PWS. It wears its USN Bu number as a fictitious USAAF serial, '41-07858'.

This Tiger was built by De Havilland Australia to an RAF order, but entered service with the RAAF under its RAF serial T5531. Post-war, it became VH-ATD on 1 June 1946. It was re-registered as VH-RNL on 5 April 1955, then VH-CXV on 11 September 1961. It seems to have had a re-bag since last photographed for the database.

Believe it or not, this 1966 Cessna 150F was registered new in Australia on 28 June 1966 as VH-DFD(3) - the previous (short-lived) owners of this identity being a Skylane and a Centurion! Previously it was N7169F, but this was probably just a 'trade plate'.
