Tiger Moth G-AOUR info request



Half a century ago I owned a Tiger Moth history book which included details of all known TMs. Alas it's long gone, I know not where. Could some kind person help with details of G-AOUR, which has a special significance in that it was the Ulster Flying Club's first aircraft in 1961?

I remember it being written off after it overturned on landing in soft ground at Newtownards about 1965, and as trainee LAE dismantling it for transport to the Ulster Transport Museum where it remains in store. It was owned by Short Bros Rochester during the late 1950s and presumably the RAF before that, but I don't even know the build number. All info gratefully received.
