Hi guys,
An unusual Visitor is due in at Manchester next week to mark a 75th anniversary.
I'm working that day, so depending on how busy I am, I'll do my upmost to get some snaps of it for the forum.

Hi Ben
The owners are registered as a Bristol address, the aircraft is based at Hullavington.

God bless the people of De Havilland. They sure knew how to produce beautiful aircraft.

Have to agree, have seen a few different DeHavilland Moths at airshows in Australia. I often use one for cruising round the virtual state of Victoria. Good visibilty and very stable.
EDIT: Sorry! Thanks for those photos, nice work!
