    I can’t help but agree that it doesn’t look like August with what appears to be bare trees in the background or the coat which the guy is wearing. Regarding the information from Paul, thanks, but I already had this information. I was just looking at the possibility that this may have been the wreckage of P6811 as the field in the photograph with the ground rising behind would fit with the known crash site. The Oxford collided with one of the masts on Borough Hill and crashed in a field below. The guy in the photograph is the late father in law of the person who sent me the photograph and was from the Daventry area. With this information I felt there was just a chance, even if remote, that the wreckage in the photograph may have been P6811.
    Thanks for your responses. Much appreciated.

    Just a thought, but I wondered if collectively as members of the Aviation Forum we could raise a fund to help with costs of repairing the Triplane. Not sure how to go about it myself but would gladly contribute. Thoughts anyone?

    Have a look at http://www.svasweb.org/what.php The society has donated hundreds of thousands to the Shuttleworth Collection and as a registered charity, I imagine that any donations could be gift aided to further increase the amount.

    The fuselage structure, undercarriage and wheels indicate it is (or was!) almost certainly a DH82 Tiger Moth. Mike
