Built in Toronto in 1941. This variant of the Tiger Moth was equipped with American-built Menasco engine, distinguishing it from the standard DH-82C models. Initially served as a wireless (telegraphy) trainer. In 1943, it was converted to a basic training aircraft. After the war it was placed in storage in Manitoba until 1962.
