Don't think it's a Tiger Moth wing section. According to Wheeler, only Hughes could get it off the ground at White Waltham after some modification; once they extended the wings further and put the 50hp Ardam engine in (VW1600?) it flew very well at Booker. Shame it didn't got to Shuttleworth as well, the Antoinette as well.

Not sure if the pic below is Jean-Pierre Cassal or Derek Piggott!
