A nostalgic look back to a simpler, more carefree time. I can only imagine what the UK Flying Clubs were like in the early 30's, when grass fields were everywhere and the skies echoed with the sound of Cirrus and Gypsy engines. 🙂
Wow! At 45:46 a tiger moth passes in front of the camera with the registration T-6953 clearly visible. This number also appears in my late father’s flying log book. Could this possibly be the same DH82A that he flew on 9 August 1944 at 4EFTS, Pendleton, Ontario during his RAF pilot’s training? PS Great video, really enjoyed it.
My Grandad earned his RAF Fighter pilot wings in the States after crossing the Atlantic during the blockade on the Queen Mary. He always talked about the Tiger Moth and the Harvard.
1:14:48 that was close enough!!!!! feels like DH Puss is heavy as a brick or pops wasn't aware of those trees in the background. Flying beauties in general. Great video except for that music band.
