De Havilland DH 82 Tiger Moth biplanes on an airfield in Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The de Havilland DH 82 Tiger Moth is a 1930s biplane designed by Geoffrey de Havilland and was operated by the Royal Air Force and others as a primary trainer. The Tiger Moth remained in service with the RAF until 1952 when many of the surplus aircraft entered civil operation. Many other nations used the Tiger Moth both in military and civil applications and the ubiquitous little trainer is still in great demand worldwide as a recreational aircraft. It is still occasionally used as a primary training aircraft, although now most Tiger Moths employed in training duties are used by pilots gaining experience for 'taildragger' license ratings.

    Tiger Moth aircraft was the first aeroplane used for spreading superphosphate in Australia, undertaken by EastWest Airlines at AS Nivison’s Mirani property in February 1950. Prior to that it was used in 1947 to spread 600 acres of linseed at Walcha. The aircraft was built in Sydney in 1940 for the RAAF and was used by the RAAF for pilot training at Narromine, Narrandera, Bundaberg and Lowood between 1940 and 1943. Then used at the Air Gunner School at West Sale, Victoria. It was sold by the Federal Government at the end of the Second World War to Edward Macarthur-Onslow who used it at his Flying and Gliding School at Camden. At one stage it was fitted with a spray tank and boom and used to spray tobacco crops at Dalby, Queensland. It was donated to the Society in 1965 by Mr Tom Watson, managing director of Aerial Agriculture Pty Ltd. The hangar was erected by the Rotary Club of Walcha.

    Ah! the SS EKORBMEP at Cheekpoint with a dent in her nose A short time after 23rd February 1899.
  • derangedlemur said:
    SS Pembroke: She operated as a paddle steamer from 1880 to 1895; the following year returning to service with twin screws and new boilers, all this time on the Irish Sea. In 1916 Pembroke was transferred to work from Weymouth as a cargo boat but on 24 September she was attacked by a U-boat so the following January she was fitted with a gun for defence. She was sold for scrap in 1925

    If this is at Cheekpoint, then it was her second - this timedeliberate - grounding after she hit the Saltees on 18th February 1899.

    SS Pembroke aground at Cheekpoint, was apparently a thing. Edit: Too slow and not funny enough again.
