The first Australian built DH84. Became VH-ASK after World War II ended. At the time of upload, this aircraft was on display at the Museum of Flight, East Fortune, Scotland in its final Australian registration VH-SNB. A quirk in Australian DH84 production is that A34-12 c/n 2001 was built after A34-13. Originally, A34-12 had been set aside for an impressed aircraft. When this did not eventuate, a later production aircraft filled the gap. Photo preserved by John Hopton as part of his collection.

The Australian Army had been dissatisfied with the Tiger and announced in 2021 it would replace them earlier than planned with AH-64 Apaches from 2027. The AH-64 was the losing aircraft in the contest that led to the Tiger order.

Withdrawn from use in 2002 and donated to the Dandenong RSL in September 2003 to honour the Huey crews who flew rescue missions during the Vietnam War. Dandenong RSL Club is a large commercial venue providing meals, entertainment and gambling. The military link is that the club had its origins in the Returned Services League (RSL) which was formed to look after the interests of veterans. The RSL still exists but is separate from the commercial clubs using the RSL name.
