My first Tiger Moth flight. Formation Air-Air Pics.

[Old Photo.Fanatic]

At the ripe young age of 73 I have at last enjoyed my first Tiger Moth flight recently, at a Moth club "Forum".

Here is a selection of my Air-Air pics. of the Tiger Moth in formation for part of the flight.
Of all the many years of aviation photography this was only my 4th private flight and subsequent photo. session Air-Air.
Last time was 20 years ago in the USA.

I was very pleased with the result , holding in mind that the front seat of a Moth is not a good Photo. platform.
Having to turn my heard hard to the right, a very limited view of the formating aircraft. Only seeing the left quarter of the camera eye viewer, trusting to luck that the whole aircraft is in "View"!!!!!

Observations welcome.

And now for the cheeky bit if the Mods allow.!!!
This could be your aircraft, pm me if interested.
The only reward I look for is the chance to do some more Air-Air photography while I can.

OPF,

You are being entirely too modest. Great photos. :ok:

Flying in an open-cockpit biplane is one of the great joys of aviating - as long as it is not too cold!
