This photograph showcases the iconic de Havilland DH.82b Tiger Moth, registration number G-ACDC, as it soars through the clear blue sky during a flying display at an airshow in the late 1960s or early 1970s. The Tiger Moth, a biplane designed by de Havilland Aircraft Company in the 1930s, was a popular trainer aircraft used by the Royal Air Force and other air forces around the world. In this image, we see the Tiger Moth in the distinctive livery of the Tiger Club, a flying club based in the United Kingdom. The Tiger Club was formed in 1953 and was dedicated to preserving and flying vintage aircraft, with a particular focus on the Tiger Moth. The club's aircraft were often seen at airshows and fly-ins, thrilling audiences with their graceful flights and distinctive roar. The Tiger Moth was known for its robust design and ease of handling, making it an ideal trainer for new pilots. Its open cockpit and two-seat configuration allowed for a more immersive flying experience, and its distinctive engine sound became a familiar part of the aviation landscape for generations of pilots. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in aviation history, when flying was still a thrilling and adventurous pursuit. The de Havilland DH.82b Tiger Moth, G-ACDC, remains a cherished symbol of that era, and continues to inspire awe and admiration among aviation enthusiasts to this day.
