I saw on the m1 near toddington services north yesterday at about 12clock 2 tiger moths in formation with a powered glider any one know what they were doing???

I would llike to come along if i can

at the moment there are about 5 on the round in various states of disrepair including some of the sata ans merpati ones at woodford now all probably oging to be scrapped and that is including the prototype.:mad:

i think it came from st athan zd142 perhaps

dear kabir
thanks for the wapiti picture much appreciated. if i remeber rightly it was developed from the dh9a and was the 2nd aircraft 55squadron obtained. ( i used to be in 55sqn aircadets)

That is a fond memories for me as i had a look round it in 1984, unfortunately all that is left are the engines that are now stored at the aviation museum at ta kali. It was a good time if you liked dakotas too as there was about 12 there, something to do with the oil fields in libya i was told there were a few carabous being maintained too.

xm603

The current situation is that she now has all 4 engines working but unfortunately a few months ago her main wheel stearing snapped and she cant move but her systems are regularly run up every tuesday. Now for one of the rumours, is that she will be broke up and ferried to machester airport for the new viewing park that will be opened soon( that was from a guy that is involved in this) so maybe she will have a future abeit not in the air. Put it this way she is far in a way better off than the blackpool vulcan!!!!:rolleyes:
