I used to have a share in a Tiger Moth - same colours as this although a year older at 1938. Pre RAF trainer so had a long canvas tube in the rear fuselage accessed through the locker for storing your fishing rod just in case you happened to land in a meadow by a trout stream! Lovely aeroplane, albeit quite challenging on the ground, gave me a lot of respect for the thousands of chaps who learned their trade in them.

That trout fishing sounds great using the Tiger to get there, thanks for watching.

Pilots using those compasses come in two varieties. Those who have flown on a back bearing for a while before realising their mistake and those who are going to.

I have had the pleasure of flying this aircraft when it was owned by its previous owner, Brian Parkinson. A lovely Tiger.

Great review Hermann (and Conrad). Beautiful aircraft and very informative and interesting review. I was truly amazed to learn so much in 15 mins. Awesome job mate, looking forward to what you next have in store for us. By the way, I shared this video with a few like minded friends, hopefully it might translate into some more followers. Cheers.

As a stearman owner/pilot I've always been interested in these aircraft. Great video. The size of this aircraft compared to the Stearman is remarkable. The stearman more or less swallows you in the back seat. Climbing up on to the fuselage to refuel and even mounting up onto the lower wing reminds you of its "omnipresence". Fly on, best wishes. Stick and rudder rules.

That Tiger moth is amazing, all you need is a twin machine gun on it. Just looks like so much fun!

Question Hermann; in regard to Tony’s machine gun comment…when machine guns were mounted on the front of planes like this, is it true that the firing of the gun had to be timed somehow with the rotation of the propeller to avoid shooting and breaking the propeller blades? Or is this just a myth?
@PoochAndBoo
2 жыл бұрын
Well, no. It wouldn't really be possible to "time" the rotation of the propeller. The machine gun was actually connected to the gun by a series of gears. The system was designed in a way that stopped the gun when the prop was in front of it. The gun would then fire again as the prop spun out of the way. Anthony Fokker is credited with this invention, and it was first used on his Fokker E-1 monoplane, which became the world's first real fighter plane.

I cant believe 2 "experts" can be so uninformed! The slots in the tyres are nothing to do with grip, but are witness to the amount of tyre thickness remaining. And there are many other erroneous statements made throughout this joke video.
