DH.82 Tiger Moth model aircraft, 750 mm wingspan, 1:12, SD7034, Tony Ray
The de Havilland DH.82 “Tiger Moth” made its first flight in 1931 and quickly became the standard primary training aircraft of the Royal Air Force and many Commonwealth air forces.
Its simple, robust wood-steel tube construction with biplane airframe proved ideal for training thousands of pilots during the Second World War; a total of around 8,800 were produced, including licensed versions in Canada and Australia.
Besides training, the type also served as a liaison, target towing and reconnaissance aircraft.
After the war, large numbers of these aircraft entered the civilian market, where they were used as sports aircraft, glider tow planes and even as agricultural aircraft for spraying operations.
To this day, numerous Tiger Moths worldwide are preserved in airworthy condition and are presented at airshows as the epitome of the classic biplane training aircraft.
