Photo Comment

One of Tony Haig-Thomas's collection of airworthy de Havilland Moth types which participated in the display. One of its last appearances before being repainted in a black and gold colour scheme. Struck by Musketeer G-AYWS at Old Warden on 17th July 1982 and destroyed by fire. This prompted the closing of the cross-runway to visiting aircraft. The remains were subsequently recreated by Ben and Jan Cooper and the aircraft was resident in Germany in 2025.
