An area that is fully out of what my normal interest is so I am wondering if the forum can help me at all with a small project I may embark upon.
I am interested in the Tiger Moths operated by a company called Brooklands Aviation. They were the ones in the lovely red, black & silver scheme. I am struggling to find any photographic information on the machines operated by the company.
Loads of pictures of perserved Tigers in this scheme on the www, however I am not sure if these are genuine ex Brooklands Aviation machines or not.
Is there any websites or books where I can look into further?
As always, any information shared would be appreciated.

Dont forget that Brookland’s also owned at least one DH89 Rapide!
Our G-AHJO/NR747 belonged to them at one time!
Hotel Oscar in its original Brooklands Colours – we restored it, and put it in Kings Flight colours with permission of HRH etc. We sold it to Proteus Aviation who put it in Brookland colours, who then crashed it!

Further to GrahamSimons’ post, Brooklands at Sywell also operated a couple of Austers in the house colour scheme. I have just found a photo in which two are visible, taken at a Northamptonshire ATC parade at Sywell in, I think, 1959. One of them is J-1 G-AMTM, which I had the pleasure to fly in 1960.
Here she is in 1965, unfortunalely in black and white!

Propeller aircraft
Propeller aircraft use one or more propellers (airscrews) to create thrust in a forward direction. The propeller is usually mounted in front of the power source in tractor configuration but can be mounted behind in pusher configuration. Variations of propeller layout include contra-rotating propellers and ducted fans.

As mentioned before the G-ADGV is one of the Tiger Moths or probably the only one that has flown for Brooklands Aviation and still having the Brooklands color scheme. I have the original registration form from 1935.
As I’m the owner of the G-ADGV, I might be able to help you, if still needed.
Mike.
Hello Mike,
Many thanks for the reply. PM inbound shortly.
