'Meeting of the Moths' - Old Warden 1972

[sp221156]

Does anyone here recall the above meet which I think took place in June of that year? I remember coming down from Leeds for the event and am looking for a list of aircraft that attended.

I can't find any mention of this event in any magazines of that period including the Air Britain ones and a number of local society publications.

Sure Im not imagining it, but there again almost 40 years on from the event the 'little grey cells' (as Poirot would say) aren't quite as sharp as they once were.:)

Any information appreciated.

Possibly The Famous Grouse DH Moth Air Rally from Hatfield to Strathallan, June 29th to July 1st 1979? 63 Moths in 3 waves.

Thanks for the suggestion Sandy, but it was certainly well before 1979. It was whilst I was still at school so it's definately pre- 1975!
