By 1965 retired agricultural Tiger Moths
were parked out at many airfields. They
had little resale value back then, prior
to the boom in the popular vintage and
antique aircraft movement. Its
agricultural working life finished, the
aircraft was abandoned in a corner of
Ballarat airfield. Our photographs show it
in 1965. It had disappeared by early 1966.
It was still fitted with its under wing
spray bars and fan-driven pump under the
fuselage. The chemical hopper was fitted
in the front cockpit position, with a
refilling hatch ahead of the pilot's
windscreen.

of Glenroy, Victoria.
19/09/83 The aircraft was converted back
to the normal two place configuration. All
fabric was replaced and many major
components replaced.

of Colac, Victoria.

registration although VH-FAG was still

wife, Julie.

Int'l Airport
16/04/2016 Purchased by Liz Matzelle
18/09/2016 Moved to private hangar,
Arlington WA, for restoration to

Data plates on all control surfaces
and vertical stabilizer show V.I.A.
overhaul and dates which fit the
dates listed here. Except for the
port aileron which has an RAAF plate
and a date which fits the "incident"
of February 1944.
The engine currently fitted to the
aircraft is a 1939 British-built
Gipsy Major (Ser. No. 82077)
originally fitted to N9257. This
Tiger Moth was shipped to Australia
and arrived 02/22/1940. It was at 1
EFTS from 12/04/1940 until
25/11/1940. I presume during this
time its engine was pulled and
replaced for some reason, and that
engine was then installed on A17-370
due to its originally fitted engine
being marked repeatedly U/S during
routine inspections. After that
time, its E88 card shows it served
with 3 EFTS, 11 EFTS and 9 EFTS,
never directly crossing paths with
A17-370 as far as I can tell.
