There are a few aircraft in the history of powered flight that truly deserve to be called “clsassic” and the DH 82a Tiger Moth is certainly one of these, with over 8,800 being produced and around 500 still being flown today. The prototype DH82A first flew in 1931, having been developed from the earlier DH60 “Gypsy Moth” by changing to an inverted engine to allow a better forward view and incorporating the distinctive swept wings to enable easier escape by parachuter from the forward cockpit at the request of the Royal Air Force, who were to use the Tiger Moth as a basic trainer throughout WW2 and retired it from service in 1959. Further development by adding the larger Gypsy Major 130 bhp engine and a plywood rear decking resulted in the DH82 being re-designated the DH82a which is the Tiger Moth that we all know and love totday!
