Carrying the registration ZK-PHZ (but not actually registered until today) this one started life as Tiger Moth N6907 before emerging as Jackaroo G-AOIO back in 1958, then was exported to Australia in 1978.
Probably not in the best of condition at that time, as it was logged as ‘under rebuild’ on arrival.

Nice to hear that this Jackaroo has been restored. I’ve seen mention of it a few times lately in Scottish Air News  (SCAN) issues from the 1970s. It belonged at the time to Paul Gliddon and took up residence with him at Aberdeen (Dyce) on 17/5/74 ,and later Inverness, staying in Scotland till being sold to Australia almost 4 years later.

I’m not sure if the Jackaroo ever flew at Aberdeen though as one of the first comments in SCAN was that it was having C of A work done and this was within a couple of months of it arriving. Six months later it is described as being “in pieces – fuselage at Dyce. Wings at Strathallan for re-covering.” By March 1977 they were reporting that she was being “re-converted to Tiger Moth using parts of G-ANMO and possibly G-AOIP” and a month later that the top wings had made their way to Kilkerran in Ayrshire. She was sold and left Inverness 27/2/78.

Well done to the current owner on completing her restoration 🙂
