EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic de Havilland DH.82a Tiger Moth II, registration G-AREH (formerly DE241, msn 85287), in its prime during the 1950s-1960s era. The Tiger Moth II, a British two-seat advanced trainer biplane, was manufactured by de Havilland Aircraft Company and first flew in 1932. Its distinctive open-cockpit design and distinctive orange and green camouflage paint scheme made it a popular choice among pilots and aviation enthusiasts. The Tiger Moth II was widely used by the Royal Air Force and other air forces around the world as a trainer aircraft due to its robustness and ease of handling. Its versatility extended beyond military use, as it was also used for agricultural spraying, gliding, and even aerobatics. In this image, G-AREH appears to be taking off from a grass airfield, with its propeller churning up a cloud of dust and debris. The pilot and passenger, both wearing leather helmets and goggles, are focused intently on the task at hand. The surrounding landscape is dotted with trees and rolling hills, adding to the idyllic setting of this classic aviation moment. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Tiger Moth II and the thrill of early aviation. Its timeless design and rich history continue to captivate aviation enthusiasts and inspire new generations of pilots and engineers.
