All is not what it seems! This aircraft started life as a D.H.82A Tiger Moth in 1940 for the RAAF as A17-142. Civil registered as VH-BAR on 24 Feb 1947, it changed to VH-BJI a year later, on 22 Nov 1948. De-registered in 1955, it has been resurrected as a straight-wing D.H.60MIII Moth Major in accordance with DH design drawings uncovered by Stanfield Smith in NZ. De Havilland designed but did not build this model, however the metal tube fuselage designed for the D.H.60MIII became the D.H.82 Tiger Moth. Re-registered VH-UUX(4) on 27 Jun 2019.
