| Terry Towns Sidney, BC | This was one of my favourite airplanes to fly in my 6500 hours of flying.Airlines,civil,RCAF,corporate ,Private.
The start,I with two friends purchased a Tiger Moth in 1949 for $500.00 to learn to fly basic intruments and aerobatics with former RCAF pilot instructor. CF-CIM Needle, ball, airspeed, unusual positions, peek under the hood dosn,t count.My future wife and I spent many great hours flying out of YVR airport, Nordo ,wheels ,skis and sessions of toiet paper cutting and flower bombing at the old Sumas airport Fraser Valley B.C. A great start for an aviation career.what I wouldn't give to climb into the cockpit again. 08/30/2007 @ 16:50 [ref: 17792] |

| Jock Williams Toronto, ON | The DH82C Tiger Moth pictured is C-FDGC, manufacturers serial number 1020. It flies actively out of Dunnville Ontario where it forms part of the RCAF Dunnville Museum. RCAF Dunnville was the home of #6 Service Flying Training School (#6 SFTS), a part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP).
The RCAF operated 1384 DH82C Tiger Moths during WW2. Now only 55 are still on the Canadian registry. Also to be found in Dunnville are 2 Harvards (T6s) on pedestals , an airworthy Yale, and an excellent museum display as well as a very active skydiving facility. Thanks for showing the world our beloved airplane! Jock Williams Tiger Moth Enterprises 11/24/2004 @ 08:21 [ref: 8699] |
