John Richey Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I've been postponing the building of a Tiger Moth for too long. This will get into it in a hurry if I am to be lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bunting Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Yes, I'd love a Tigger, one of the light aircraft I've had the pleasure of flying in, the others being an Aeronca C3, an Auster, and a B A Swallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Harrison Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 After my reading my comment I would like to add my thoughts about the Tiger Moth, whenever I see a Moth it makes me think of all those young battle of brittain pilots who had there first experience of flight in one then shortly after being lost in action.I also think about how wonerful it must have been when they got there wings after there first solo.This aeroplane was the making of some of our finest and bravest heros.Everyone seems very eager to win this tiger moth as I am but I think it is also very important to remember the personal history of this type of aeroplane.

bob base Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 here goes another entry and another disapointmentAas for your queston about the tig moths attacking a battleship according to my sources at the the fleet air arm it never happened However they were used to illuminate targets for the guns of the capitol ships during the earely phases of world war II and as the box lid is so small I cannot see if there are any Moths actualy droping bombs. As well as flares they were fitted with insignificant bomb racks with the initial intentions of attacking any U boats that may have tried transiting the channel before the fall of France.

Pete D Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Please count me in. there's hell of a better chance of winning the Tiggie than the lottery. Come to think of it we can't get UK lottery tickets here so just send the Moth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Whitlock Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Please count me in.First time entering a comp here so maybe beginners luck will win out.A salute to Ross Harrison's comment about all the brave RAF novices who spent their training in a moth and the likes; only to be killed in action with less than a day of solo flight under their belts. Those are the boys that made Britain GREAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Quinn Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Gents, I don't know whether the Tiger Moth / Battleship attack question has been answered, but I believe that during World War II, several RAF Tiger Moths were converted into radio-controlled flying bombs as an experiment. Apparently, these 'aerial torpedos' were launched against old battleship targets, but proved unreliable.I've found a few references to this on Google, but can find nothing conclusive.Cheers,Pat Quinn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
