An interpretative sign in the recent NT parliamentary library Cyclone Tracy exhibition quoted a “former Senator” as saying he had heard the roof pealing (sic) back.
Of interest were details supplied by members of the public about various photographs in the cyclone collection. These included information about planes thrown about and damaged at Darwin Airport. Next to an overturned Cessna 206 was a battered Tiger Moth . Sucked out of a hangar when a wall blew in , the Tiger Moth had been owned by a group of 30 aircraft enthusiasts . According to information supplied , it had been sold to Christine Davies who flew for Connellan Airways , Alice Springs. A Fokker Friendship , not apparently badly damaged and upright , belonged to the mining company Freeport Indonesia and flew between Darwin and Irian Jaya .
