-
The Middle Districts Aero Club acquired its first Tiger Moth in 1938 and by the end of 1949, had a fleet of six Tigers. These were considered the most practical aircraft for training new pilots. In 1958, Champions began replacing Tigers as the preferred training aircraft. The club's last Tiger, BGX, was written off in an accident at Taupo.
