Tiger Moth Party

[Bish]

A very good friends old man has owned his Tiger Moth for 40 years so had a party on Sunday, there was a mini fly-in of some close friends and a display from a Spitfire at home. A great fun day with lots of flying had by all.

Small world - I have time in three of the aircraft shown above (sadly not the one with the V12 at the front though......)

Good stuff!

Are those Russian things Yak trainers? And was it a replica Spit or the real deal?

The green things are Nanchangs..in fact..the Nanchangs in the UK. Chinese military trainers. The two-tone grey thing is a Yak-52, Russian military trainer.

The Spitfire is original.

The Spit is MH 434 one of the most original Spits still flying.

I've often wondered about selling the boat and learning to fly and buying a Tiger Moth, what does one fetch?
