Photo Comment

Yes, a Tiger Moth at Sydney airport in the 1980s. For a short time Tiger Moth joy flights were offered from the airport because of its proximity to Sydney Harbour, the Opera House and beaches. VH-EOV became VH-HSH when it returned from a nine-year rebuild in 1989. In RAAF service, -EOV was A17-667, but it was not painted on the aircraft in 1976 However it explains "7" on the cowling.
