Thread: De Havilland Moth Rally Woburn 20-21-08-2005-Part 7

This picture more than any sums up what Woburn is about,where else could you hold such a nostalgic event ? the very turf was used by the Duchess of Bedford when she vanished never to be seen again on a flight,here DH.84 Dragon G-ECAN touches down after a few circuits.

Here she taxies in with Torquil Norman at the controls.

Down by the lake,two Hornet Moth's get ready for take off.

K2567/G-MOTH is a DH.82 Tiger Moth,note the absence of anti-spin strakes.

And an Hornet Moth & Leopard Moth taxy out together.

N6720 Tiger Moth with a fuselage code.

OY-FEY Danish Tiger Moth with a very interesting target towing chevron scheme,this is another aircraft with a long pedigree being ex T7814 R.A.F,then to the South African air force as SAAF579,civilianised as ZS-DEU & ZS-FEY,finishing up in the U.S.A as N82MT,then subsequently sold to Denmark as OY-FEY.

Glad that you like them Alpha,I have been trying to get back to Woburn again since these were taken but the annual Moth club public event seems to have been somewhat neglected ? a great pity as this was an ideal opportunity to study Tiger Moth's again at close quarters,I say again because I was once involved in restoring these lovely aircraft back in the mid sixties.
