1958 Baginton Coventry Dh82a Havilland Moth Owned Privately Shot Tiger
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the timeless elegance of a privately owned De Havilland DH82A Tiger Moth, registration number G-APBI, as it gracefully takes to the skies above Baginton Airfield in Coventry, circa 1958. The Tiger Moth, a classic biplane design, was a staple of the aviation world during the interwar period and post-World War II. Its open cockpit design, fabric-covered wings, and distinctive round engine cowling are all on full display in this image. The Tiger Moth was renowned for its versatility, serving as both a primary trainer for the Royal Air Force and a popular choice for civilian pilots seeking to learn to fly. Its robust design and reliable performance made it an ideal platform for both instruction and recreational flying. This photograph captures a moment in time when aviation was still a relatively new and exciting frontier. The Tiger Moth, with its distinctive roar and graceful flight, represented the freedom and adventure that drew so many to the skies. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history of aviation in Coventry and the surrounding area. The Tiger Moth's continued presence in the skies, both in private hands and as part of various collections, is a testament to its enduring appeal and importance in the annals of aviation history. This photograph is a beautiful snapshot of a bygone era, one that continues to inspire and captivate aviation enthusiasts to this day.
