So have I been the only one watching a programme on one of the best ways to use an aeroplane?

Flying around the country in a Puss Moth picking up the various items on the menu for a picnic for 40 friends :O

Can there be a better way to enjoy flying? Ending up at Woburn with the Moth club, on a glorious summers day with some of the best food and wine to boot!

Jealous, me? :{

40 friends. Plus wine! :eek:

Can one little Puss Moth carry enough? :confused:

Semirigid Rotor,

It was a great series, currently being repeated here in the UK I think, with superb flying shots, and lovely looking food too.
But the aeroplane in the programme is not a Puss Moth.
Do you want to try again?
A Happy new year to all.

I couldn't get the image of the female host with her flyingsuit around her ankles over the rear fuselage of the Moth:mad:

asmccuk, OK as someone from the "fling wing" school of flying, moths are not my speciality, which one was it then? Still, a great series.

Aircraft used was a dH60 Gipsy Moth, also in the background you could occasionally see what I think was Henry Labouche's yellow dH82a Tiger Moth which was probably the camera ship.
(Puss Moth is a dH80 and is a 2 seat high wing cabin monoplane).
