Gipsy Moth - circa 1983

Came across a number of long mislaid 5" x 3.5" pre-digital prints, yesterday, taken 36 years ago !

Mostly military, but included this rather pleasing Gipsy Moth, which scanned reasonably well;

Ah, De Havilland. Classic aircraft.
It is tagged Strathallan. Would be interesting if you have anything from the Strathallan Collection.

That's a fine clump of Strathallan turf clinging to the tail skid.

I have a bad photo of the same aircraft taken in September 1985 at an event on the old Woodley airfield, now a large housing estate.

Thanks for posting the pics

Neil
