Description

Hi, Again, been waiting to get a shot of this beauty for a good while now.. Yes, its a 'Tiger Moth' but look at it! This aircraft was originally T6818 in RAF service and was built by Morris Motors at Cowley, Oxford in 1944. Little is known of its wartime service but after the war it was registered as G-ANKT. It has been completely overhauled and re-covered and is finished in the colours of the Royal Air Force Central Flying School Aerobatic Team, showing K2585. As it happens, Old Warden (Shuttleworth) was a training field during the war.. This flew with 6 other trainers from around the world of the time. Rob
