1950's/60's Archive Part 28:Tiger Moth

The last few threads I’ve posted have had a military bias, so here’s a few Tiger Moth pictures from the fifties. They represent a collection of over 250 images which I’ve made into a set on my Flickr page at:

All the photos were taken by the late Gerald Lawrance, digitised and made available by Tony Clarke. Any extra information on locations etc would be gratefully received.
