1941 de Havilland DH.82A Tiger Moth

nobody@flickr.com (Pirate!!) — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 08:35:05 -0800

Pirate!! posted a photo:

The de Havilland DH.82A Tiger Moth is a 1930s biplane designed by Geoffrey de Havilland and was operated by the Royal Air Force and others as a primary trainer. The Tiger Moth remained in service with the RAF until 1952 when many of the surplus aircraft entered civil operation. Many other nations used the Tiger Moth in both military and civil applications, and it remains in use as a recreational aircraft. It is still occasionally used as a primary training aircraft, although now most Tiger Moths employed in training duties are used by pilots gaining experience for conventional landing gear license ratings.

This specific one has since been named 'The Liver Moth' and operates from Liverpool Flying School Ltd (Keenair) at Liverpool 'John Lennon' Airport, UK.
