EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1980s, the iconic de Havilland DH.82b Tiger Moth, registration number G-ANCS, gracefully sits on the tarmac at Cranfield Airport. The Tiger Moth, a classic biplane trainer aircraft, was first introduced in the 1930s and became a staple of the British flying scene due to its versatility and reliability. The image transports us back to the era of romantic aviation, where the thrill of flight was a new and exhilarating experience. The Tiger Moth's distinctive orange and green livery, with its roundels and serial numbers proudly displayed, adds to its timeless charm. The aircraft's wings are folded in, and the engine cowling is closed, suggesting that it is ready for its next adventure. The background of the photograph shows the hustle and bustle of airport activity, with other aircraft and vehicles moving around in the foreground. The blue sky and sunlight filtering through the trees add to the serene and picturesque setting. The Tiger Moth, with its rich history and enduring appeal, continues to be a beloved symbol of aviation history and a reminder of the romance and adventure that comes with flying. This photograph, taken in 1987, captures a moment in time when the Tiger Moth was still in use, and its presence at Cranfield Airport, a renowned center for aviation research and development, highlights its significance in the world of transport and transportation. The de Havilland DH.82b Tiger Moth, G-ANCS, remains an iconic piece of aeronautical history, and this photograph is a testament to its enduring allure.
