Plane Tales: DH.82 Tiger Moth, G-OOSY

Aviation enthusiast and filmmaker, Paul Carpenter captures the character and spirit of a 1943 Tiger Moth affectionately known as “Goosy”.
This lovingly restored vintage De Havilland biplane was French-registered during the final years of WWII when it served as an RAF primary trainer. Following a change of ownership it was transferred to England, registered G-OOSY and restored to its full former glory in distinctive RAF camouflage.

We love this wonderfully filmed tribute to this classic aircraft. Well done Paul Carpenter. We have a DH 82 Tiger Moth on display at the RAF Museum - Cosford

Wrong place for it. It should be flying.

[@justincase1575]

This brings back memories in my later years. I owned a Tiger many years ago. Serial no. PG676. She was an outstanding airplane! I just wish I could have afforded to keep her!

[@wesleycardinal8869]

A lovely little tribute, well produced, informative and interesting. It brought back memories of my flight in an old moth at Headcorn airfield in Kent in 1996. It was a surprise gift for me from my wife. 👍🇦🇺

[@tea-and-medals-uk]

Thanks for commenting. Headcorn and Duxford are by far the best places to go for vintage flying experiences, in my opinion. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@markfromharsaviationmuseum4]

This is a beautifully produced video of a very beautiful aeroplane. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@tea-and-medals-uk]

Thanks so much, Mark. Really glad you enjoyed it!

[@justincase1575]

I used to gauge my approach speed by the singing of the flying wires! They would actually hum when your speed was right!

[@tea-and-medals-uk]

I remember it well from when I used to fly in these biplanes - they seem to speak to you. There's nothing quite like the open cockpit experience.

[@ffinybryn]

I’m building a Tiger Moth kit and this is the colour scheme I want. Excellent.

[@blancolirio]

Brilliant!

[@tea-and-medals-uk]

Thanks blancolirio!

[@patramento6246]

my dads family worked for de havilland and my grandma got to fly one of these

[@tea-and-medals-uk]

[@tea-and-medals-uk]

Thanks for your kind comments Billbothebear14. For as long as a dream still makes you feel good, never give up on it.

[@mr.morgan5643]

Hi Gentleman! Thank you for sharing, what a classic video of a historical Airplane!! I just love the Tiger Mouth, I sure would love to fly in one before I pass on!! She's truly a classic!!
Fair Winds!!

[@tea-and-medals-uk]

I really hope you experience that one day! Thanks for watching.

[@rubenbueno4744]

Sencillamente , genial . Es un gran trabajo de restauración , perfecto en sus más mínimos detalles. Se destaca la pasión por hacer esa joya . Emblemático biplano de entrenamiento ha tomado vida nuevamente !!!

[@tea-and-medals-uk]

Ruben Bueno Gracias. ¡Me alegra que hayas disfrutado la película!

[@pibbles-a-plenty1105]

Can the background racket!!!!

[@bobswan6196]

Agreed; most inappropriate and too loud

[@allinmyhead]

Beautiful editing. Impressed.

[@tea-and-medals-uk]

Thanks, very kind of you.

[@allinmyhead]

You are indeed most welcome - beautiful work. I film vintage aircraft too and hoping that 2018 brings good things !

[@tea-and-medals-uk]

Peter McGarry That’s great, hope it goes well.

[@allinmyhead]

Thanks friend. My youtube channel is found under Peter McGarry. I have done one of the 2017 Shuttleworth season premiere..

[@mothmagic1]

That Gipsy Major sound is recognisable long before you can see the aircraft. Actually the construction wasn't any more advanced than the Sopwith Camel and SE5

[@johncgibson4720]

I used to think that the tiger moth was a fighter bird. Good to know it was a trainer.

[@tea-and-medals-uk]

Thanks for the feedback, John C G. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@gerardosalas9477]

What is this like Carfection for planes? You just earned a new sub.

[@tea-and-medals-uk]

Gerardo Salas 😂

[@yvessoudit8626]

How contact with DE 971 owner or Club ? ( F-BGFI on French Register) ?

[@r.c.drummrboy2899]

You show the wingspan as 34 ft, 4 inches, yet most other sites show a w/s of 29ft. 4 “....?

[@johncgibson4720]

Icing on the cake would be for a young lady to fly it with long pony tail floating.

[@Avgeek1564]

Going up in one at Duxford in a couple of weeks.

[@tea-and-medals-uk]

Enjoy. Duxford and Headcorn are the best places to go for vintage flight experiences in my opinion.

[@Avgeek1564]

@@tea-and-medals-uk I did the Dragon Rapide 2 years ago, it was brilliant. Bit apprehensive about the open cockpit of the Tiger Moth though!

[@MegaPeedee]

The music made it difficult to hear what was being said. Pity.
