Period of operation: Unknown? Possibly from around 2000 to -
Runway: 03/21 200 grass
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide' to thank for pointing out this location.
It appears that the de Havilland DH60M Gipsy Moth, G-AAMX, (ex NC926M), has been in the Parkhouse family since 1986. Now based here, or at least, some say it is.
This particular example was built by the American Moth Corporation in the USA, and I do not know how many, if any, other US built Moths there are in the UK. Looking G-AAMX up on the interweb, reveals pictures of it being displayed in the RAF Museum at HENDON. For how long?
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
