About Us

The Mackay Tiger Moth Museum was formed in 1974 (then The Tiger Moth Trust) to purchase a Tiger Moth that had been restored locally and was in danger of being sold to America.

Support was gathered from the Mackay community to purchase the Tiger Moth and the Trust (now the Museum) was formed to administer the operation.

The original Tiger Moth VH-AYW was purchased by a group of volunteers from The Mackay Aero Club, who raised money with a raffle of a motor vehicle offered by North Jacklin at a greatly discounted price.
