Over a dozen of these old agricultural Tigers were stored away at Cunderdin by Bob Couper Co in the 1960s. In 1968 they were cleared out and ended up stashed in a large shed on a farm near the Cunderdin airport, Some years later the collection was acquired by a Tiger owner at Trayning WA named Les Kordys -and he moved them all to a shed in the main street of Trayning. Ten years later they were all sold to a chap at Luskintyre NSW who set up a production line using the fuselage frames and as much else as he could salvage from the collection.
