OY-ECH De Havilland D.H. 82A Tiger Moth
Denmark's Aviation Museum, Stauning, Jutland, Denmark
"All in all, the world's most outstanding biplane. The aircraft is a 2-seater elementary trainer, used primarily by the RAF, but also in many countries including Denmark, which received 15 Tiger Moths between 1932 - 1937. The Danish Tiger Moths were mainly used at Værløse. During the occupation in April 1940, 12 of them were stored at Avedøre airfield.
The type is from 1931, built until the end of World War II in a quantity of approximately 9,500 examples. The aircraft is constructed with a fuselage of welded steel tubes, wooden wings, and fabric covering.
Most old RAF pilots received their primary training on the Tiger Moth.
The Tiger Moth was primarily built in England, but a large number of aircraft were built under license in Canada, Australia, and several other countries.
Besides being a training aircraft, the Tiger Moth has been used as a crop duster, taxi aircraft, target towing, skywriting, parachute aircraft, and ambulance aircraft.
OY-ECH was restored by the former owner Carsten Ølholm, Malling, who sold the aircraft to Vestas Aircoil, Lem, which for many years loaned it to Denmark's Aircraft Museum. Today the museum owns the machine. The painting is in RAF colors."
