Photo Comment

The aircraft is painted to represent DE475, a Tiger Moth that was assigned to the USAAF during WWII. Originally it was named "Dorothy", and this name has been applied on the left-hand side, but after a mishap in wartime service it was also named "El Pisstopho, Jr." which can be seen painted on the right-hand side of the cowling. The true RAF serial for this airframe is NM192.
