EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic de Havilland DH.60G Moth, registration number G-aVJ, as it gracefully takes to the skies above Cranfield Airport in 1986. The Moth, a classic biplane design, was first flown in 1925 and quickly gained popularity due to its versatility and affordability. This particular aircraft, owned by aviation enthusiast Peter Butt, was meticulously maintained and continued to fly well into the late 20th century. The DH.60G Moth, with its open cockpit and fabric-covered wings, represents a bygone era of aviation when flying was a thrilling and adventurous pursuit. The image captures the essence of that excitement, with the plane's wings casting long shadows on the runway as it lifts off, leaving a trail of dust in its wake. The clear blue sky and sunny day add to the sense of freedom and joy that comes with flying. The Moth was a favorite among pilots and aviation enthusiasts alike, and its enduring popularity is a testament to its design and the memories it has created for generations of aviators. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history of aviation and the thrill of flight, capturing a moment in time when the world seemed a little bit more open and full of possibility.
