My only experience of Tiger Moths was in my early days in the RAF when I was at 5 FTS (RAF Thornhill), Rhodesia.

Couple of photos from my album of one taking off



And of one landed - sort of!




When they were replaced by Chipmunks from September 1951 onwards some were sold/given to the Royal Rhodesian Air Force with the remainder being flogged off locally at £5 each, but even at £5 not many were sold and most were scrapped.
