Media Madness

Channel 7 News just reported that both engines of the vintage Tiger Moth failed !

Must be a model that even De Havilland do not know about - the footage I saw it looked like the one from Curtis Aviation Camden

SDR is CN based but no longer online at Curtis AFAIK - CXV is the 'new' Curtis one.

Twin Engine Tiger??

Thanks TB for confirming what I thought I heard on our local Prime TV news. Funnily enough they also showed a still photograph of the aircraft, bent fin and rudder and ONE engine.

Talking VH-SDR (Tiger 88)

Thanks for the update - when I flew her she was with Curtis and a joy to fly

can't be the Rapide.
It still is in the hangar at Bankstown though it did many years ago have an engine failure at Hoxton Park

It is SDR. looks like it has a bit of damage from turning over. I wonder what kind of $ it will need to fly again?

T/dragger, Nitpicky I know
But the Dragon (DH84) had the Gipsy Majors, wasn't the Rapide Gipsy Queens?
Had me bum in a Dragon for a lot of hours going nowhere at a rapid rate of knots

Spoke to him today. He is good and so is the pax. The aircraft will be out of the air for a while but will be repaired.
