1933 Dehavilland DH-83Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This de Havilland DH-83, built in early 1933, presents as a historically significant restoration project. Originally operating in the UK before serving as an Australian aerial ambulance, the aircraft underwent a comprehensive restoration to high standards during the 1990s. It accumulated only 100 hours of total time on both airframe and engine since restoration before sustaining damage in an unspecified mishap. The aircraft now requires extensive repairs to return to airworthy condition. The engine, with 100 hours since overhaul, has a 2,000-hour TBO remaining. This DH-83 represents a rare opportunity for a dedicated restorer to return a classic 1930s aircraft to flight status.
