DH Tiger Moth

Tue Feb 14, 2006 9:54 am

A group in Uruguay, is working hard to restore a DH Tiger Moth.... but as usual, they lack everything, from parts to manuals.

The manuals seem to be hard to get, and of course being a volunteer group, they don't have the monetary resources to obtain them other than to pay through the nose for the manuals.

Is there a way that someone could help me, help them?

I could pay a reasonable price for copies of the manuals (erection and maintenance, parts, structural, etc.).

Please let me know.

Which version? Wouldn't happen to be a DH-82C would it?

Mike:

The Tiger Moth is a DH.82A built in the UK.

They believe that this could be the 11th oldest airframe in existence; they do not have a serial number nor records, but stated that there is a possibility that this would be Aeronautica Militar Uruguaya's serial 2 or E-2 (Before the FAU became an independent air arm); the airplane is a 1935 model, and they assured me that this airplane was never a civilian machine.
