Peter Burry Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Count me in, please. Don't think a Tiger ever attacked a battleship. Tigers weren't normally carried on HM Ships, and no enemy battleship came near enough to be attacked by a shore-based Tiger. But (as others have said) there was the D.H.82B Queen Bee radio-controlled target aircraft, which was essentially a version of the Tiger Moth with a basic structure of wood. It had the Moth Major fuselage, Tiger Moth wings and a Gipsy Major engine. The prototype was flown manually on 5 January 1935, and 380 were built subsequently. It was certainly used in training anti-aircraft gunners on battleships.19 Tiger Moths were converted by Jackaroo Aircraft Ltd to a 4-seat version, with two side-by-side pairs of seats. R5130 (the one shown on the box) was one of these, becoming G-APOV. She crashed at Staplehurst on 3 July 1961. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
