    The De Havilland Tiger Moth dates back to the golden age of flying, the 1930s, when the RAF used it as a basic trainer aeroplane for almost all their pilots, including Spitfire pilots, many of whom flew from Classic Wings' base, the Imperial War Museum, Duxford.

    Although initially used for training, in 1940 a number were fitted with bomb racks for anti-submarine operations, some were used for photograph reconnaissance, with a few converted for use as air ambulances in Burma. After the war, many ex RAF aircraft became civilian trainers, while others were used for crop spraying or passenger carrying.

    Although over 4,200 Tiger Moths were originally produced in Britain, today few people have the opportunity to go back to the nostalgic days of flying in one of England's most famous aircraft

    These Tiger Moths have been restored mechanically and structurally to pristine flying condition to conform to DH82a De Havilland specification - undoubtedly a beautiful tribute to the De Havilland Flying Company
