Poorly Tiger Moth

Apparently there is a largely silver Tiger Moth with yellow markings looking a bit bent and twisted at Duxford this afternoon.

Possibly the victim of a ground loop (speculation courtesy of the friend who spotted it)

And the Tiger will be back on line very soon. It was R4922/G-APAO, the silver with trainer bands example.

Isn’t there a silver and yellow RAF marked machine at Duxford too?

These are the other two classic wings aircraft

Can’t help with the identification.

If my friend, a very experienced pilot, suggests it was a ground loop I would think he is probably correct. It would be unusual for the occupants to be damaged (Other than their pride) by such an occurrence.

Maybe Ashley could pop over and take a look?
