Moth ID…

Can anyone tell me what model of Moth this is? All I know it’s not a Tiger…The photos are taken from a old TV series (hense the quality issues and the faux Mexican markings) filmed in the US in 1971.

And I know this is asking a lot, but any idea of its identity?

Martin,
That would appear to be the aircraft. Thank you.

Guess it’s a DH60GM GIPSY MOTH

Maybe this could be a trace….

‘NC916M was to become the next star of many movies: I’ve Been There Before, produced in 1956; The Spirit of St. Louis, 1957; The Tarnished Angels, 1958; a television series called Camp Runamuck; A Guide for the Married Man, 1957; television commercials for Dodge; and finally a television series called The Bear Cats in 1971.’
