N6665 is listed in Stuart MacKay’s book on the Tiger Moth, as being Build No. 3969 – a surviving airframe of British production. That’s all – good luck with the search.

John Baxter made me some very accurate labels for my Moth’s cockpit. I don’t know if he does light panels though.
… and seconds later, the first reply – thank you JDK.
I should read things more carefully: http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/HistoricalMaterial/G-ABYX.pdf
It’s the writing – for HP ‘Olive’ read ‘Clive’ – no wonder I couldn’t find a reference.

I reckon the seating looks like pilot up front and 3 pax, 2 behind 1.
Thanks – I’ve been assured by the restoration company that the F&A fluid was a blue colour. The background certainly looks like white ivorine. These guys have restored several in the past and can even blow new glass tubes.
Can anyone advise what colour fluid would have been in a Short & Mason fore and aft level? I’m having mine restored right now…
[USER=”35001″]Stan Smith[/USER] Did you ever come up with anything on these instruments? I’m looking for instruments for my (1934) restoration project.
I enjoyed Saturday a lot (apart from the puncture – fixed with the help of ace chaps at Rougham). Great company, good hog roast and perfect grass. I’d have come the next day in the Moth for another helping if there hadn’t been for the crosswind! Great idea to get that alternative strip sorted. Thanks to the N Weald Marshallers and the organisers!
Have you tried http://gbairspares.co.uk? Send an email, because if he has any, it won’t be listed on the website. There are a couple of Vampires in his shed…
Tres bon!
[QUOTE=hunterxf382;1998982]Google throws up a link with one – scroll down the page:
Thanks XF382 – I was hoping for more photos to add to that page!
Has anyone got any photos of Hornet Moth G-ADMT from its (partly dismantled) days at the collection?
Thanks,
Dave
I saw that Hornet Moth lunchtime flying across Rougham on Tuesday and thought it odd to see a biplane flying in such miserable weather! Distinctive sound to it! I’m assuming that’s what I saw anyway! It was travelling in a north westerly direction. Wherabouts would it be based?
Martin, Yes, it was me you saw… on my way home to Felthorpe. The weather was perfectly OK with about 7k vis and 2,000 odd ft cloudbase. The worst part was the absolutely freezing draught through the door ‘seals’! I had to have my travel rug over my lap. 🙂
I can’t quite make out the Whirlwind registration – is it XP345?
Robin Whitby restored ‘FL many years ago, but she’s still going strong, now in group ownership. Robin’s latest rebuild is a Beagle Terrier, completed last year ..:)

Bell 212 for me 😎 As for the Wessex, I always felt it was like flying a council house from the upstairs bog…:diablo:
