Click on c/n for images where available *An unidentified fuselage was acquired by
Ted Phelps .82 from a school playground in Germiston, having been acquired
by the school in 1956. Note: The ex-Indian Arrow Air Services “fleet” was
sold to Jim Pearce, Findon, Sussex .95 and then sold on to a South African
consortium comprising Ewing, Rehrl & Andrew Torr and were shipped to
Rand 10.99 for rebuild by the Strecker Brothers; arr 6/7.1.00 (incl VT-DOU
VT-DOY VT-DOZ VT-DPA VT-DPB VT-DPE and possibly components from VT-CZV
(G-AISY) marked as “VT-CSC” & “201”); VT-DOY VT-DOZ to Air-Kraft
Aviation Pty Ltd (01). See here http://www.warbirds.in/ovtiger.html
*An unidentified Tiger was noted (4.02) wearing
the marks N9374 “70”.
*An ex-civil Tiger quoting identity "37239" was
recovered from Mozambique by Brian Zeederberg, Syferfontein, South Africa
(by 4.89). Sold to A Thompson, Four Ways 4.89.
Note: The reason behind the inverted commas, in the list

c/n 84454 ex T8142, SAAF
2213 (regd with c/n
"SAL.248") (Sold .55 to Tomlinson (?). Regd 2.9.55 to RA Paulsen, Rand.
Regd 2.56 to Dr Japie L Van Rensburg, Rand and overhauled by CF (Bok)
Strecker. Wfu .58 and stored in barn at Rivonia. Rebuilt by owner
8.66-10.67 at Randburg, Johannesburg. Engine failure and badly damaged in
crash into trees on landing nr Baragwanath 10.7.72. Returned to store at
Rivonia until owner died .87. To Andre Van Rensburg and on rebuild .89.
Regd 8.4.91 to Javren Aviation CC (Andre Van Rensburg), Randburg. On
rebuild by Streckers at Rand .93. Current .97. 28 April 1941 delivered by the RAF to SA. c/n 85544 ex DE577, SAAF
2494 (Regd with c/n
"T3621", corruption of fuselage no.; also quoted as ex SAAF 592?) Regd
8.57 to SAAF Aero Club, Swartkop. Regd 8.58 to Defence Flying Club,
Swartkop. Regd 14.8.74 to AD Howett, Howick. Regd 24.12.79 to AC & CJB
Howett, Benoryn. On rebuild Springs early 93. Current .97.
Note: See
comments under ZS-CMC. If ex SAAF 592 then c/n 84229, ex T7860. Unfortunately, many of the
Tigers registered in South Africa at that time quoted “odd” identities. In
many cases, the identities have been shown to be the engine number (most
Tiger Moths did not carry manufacturers plates). However, “3621” is not a
Gipsy Major engine number. One possibility is that 3621
is a corruption of a Morris Motors-built fuselage frame number
(MCO/DH3621) where the inter-relationship with the c/n is the addition of
the number 81923. This could therefore make the Tiger c/n 85544. And this
is where it gets interesting because that was a SAAF Tiger - SAAF 2494.
But here we run into another problem and that is that another SA Tiger was
also registered with the number “T3621” having been put on the register as
ZS-CGR in August 1957 and has been previously assumed to have been 2494.
However, ZS-CGR has also been referred to as ex SAAF 592, which is a
different airframe. The history of
ZS-CGR: ZS-CGR c/n 85544 ex DE577,

Current .97. If ex SAAF 592 then c/n 84229, ex
T7860. I am inclined to think that
there may be a relationship between ZS-CMC and SAAF 2494 but unless there
are any remaining tags on the airframe (particularly if there is a Morris
plate on the starboard lower longeron) it may be impossible to prove. We
don’t know too much about SAAF 2494 other than it was recorded as still on
charge at October 1945 census. Regards Malcolm Unfortunately, many of the Tigers registered in South
