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. :thumbsup:

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

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. :fly:

EDIT: Sorry! Thanks for those photos, nice work!

In our hangar no less.
The son of the pilot from 75 yrs ago was the passenger.
Duncan Menzies became Fairey's chief test pilot.

Ps. Recreation of the historic flight started at White Waltham
after Heathrow refused permission for early flyby.
