Totally Tigers

Nice – proper aeroplanes.

I assume pic 5 has a Jamaican owner. 🙂

Actually pic 5 was taken in my back garden if the length of grass is any indication. Yeah right, I wish.
On a more serious note, thanks Glyn. Nice to see some old pics of the machines.

A few more recent ones of G-ANFM………

The close-in shot is Len Mitton, getting John Coker a little worried during a bit of Diamond Nine practice. Like me, John’s idea of formation is same day, same county, same direction….

No. 2, proof you can fly a Moth in January! Bleedin freezin!!

Number 3 is various DH types, sheltering from the thunderstorms at Upavon, during last year’s DH Moth tour.

The final one – haven’t clue where I dug it up from, but a Moth deck landing?

A few shots from around 2001. Silver tigermoth G-ANMO (K4259) above the Benson area taken from yellow tiger G-AOJJ (DF128) pictured on the ground at Abingdon and shortly afterwards from NMO heading back to base.

It has been a long time since any tigers were posted so here are a few more. I think all these were taken in the late 40s or early 50s.

Hi Glyn,
Details of VH-BLH from our website;
Construction No. DHA981
ex RAAF serial A17-546
Registered VH-BLH 01/66
Later N87677 (presume exported to USA)

No pure chance I assure you… 😀

What a hideous colour scheme.

Love all these old pictures Glyn

Are you following all my posts :confused: :p

What a hideous colour scheme.

Here is one you won’t see tomorrow!

It is N1978M called ‘Limey Rickey’ and taken at Flabob, California about four years ago 🙂

I wondered how long it would be before “Ghandi”, also known as G-ANDE turned up. I knew her when she was owned by Montrose Aviation and spent some hours polishing the cowling when things were quiet. I believe at one stage she hit a helicopter (at Redhill?) and there are the remains of one of her props on the wall at the Squadron. Now up in Yorkshire wearing the reg G-YVFS or some such.

Yet another six tigers for your appreciation.

1 G-AIZF
2 G-ANEW
3 G-ANFP
4 G-AGDT
5 NM140 stored dismantled.
6 G-ANDE

Glyn

Another six Tigers for you.

1 G-AKXO
2 G-AJHU
3 G-AKXS
4 G-AOAA “The Deacon” coded 14
5 G-AOAA “The Deacon” coded 14 with wing walk attachment
6 VH-BLH I have no details of this aircraft so if anyone could supply the c/n and any otherdetails I would be grateful.

Glyn

Thanks old eagle.

Unfortunately I cant be much help with G-ALTW I’m afraid other than to say I think she crashed at Panshanger in 1969 was last registered to a A.Mangham and is now de-registered.

Some AJJ Tiger pics to keep this going, Cambridge late 1950s
Plus a Chipmunk as requested, was this taken at Hawarden ?
Backgrounds are interesting, note also the b/f hood on G-AIBN

Lovely photo’s Glyn. Got any Chipmunks ??? 🙂 ( beg, beg )

Nice pics, thanks for posting. Nice to see PVT, she became one of the Barnstormers Flying Circus A/C. Was sadly lost in a mid Air at Notingham in the early seventies.

Glyn : Do you have a pic of G-ALTW ?

Anyone : What happened to her ? Presumably crashed but is she on rebuild/stored at this time ??
Thanks

Nice – proper aeroplanes.

I assume pic 5 has a Jamaican owner. 🙂
