This Tiger moth original flew with the RAAF as A17-339 before being civilianized for the Aero Club of WA and was registered as VH-AMP. It was then converted for aerial agriculture in 1953 and used by Bob Couper Co at Cunderdin who operated a fleet of Tiger moths for spraying in the local area. in 1965 it was grounded by the then DCA. In 1974 this aircraft was restored by the locals to represent a WWII No.9 EFTS Tiger moth in WWII trainer yellow. The fin is from ex Tiger moth VH-WFQ and was meant to have that civilian registration applied, however the locals painted it as VH-WLQ for reasons unknown. This aircraft is a very rare one where the spraying gear has been left installed.
