| Tiger Moths at Lee-on-Solent |
|
|
|
| In 2004 I visited the UK and was taken to Lee-on-Solent, a former Fleet Air Arm airfield where several collections of warbirds are now held. |
See also Thorney Island. |

|
| Driving around from the entry gate is this Catalina. Note the WW2 hangars in the background. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
|
| Just in front of the Cat is this C47 G-DAKK. |

| A profusion of Moths. |
This one is co-owned by Phil Shaw, whom I met in Temora flying their Canberra. In addition to his day job flying for a British airline, Phil gets to fly many historic aircraft such as Gnat, Hunter, Jet Provost and Seafire to name just a few. |

The hangar is also home to this Piper Cub. |

| The unusual loooking fillets are anti-spin strakes. |
