Tony,

There's a colour pic of it in better days here:

de Havilland DH-82A Tiger Moth (G-ANMZ) Aircraft Pictures & Photos - AirTeamImages.com

Apparently, it crashed on 22 May 1969 at Challock.

 

[Gnomey]

Well unsurprising it crashed from that last shot. Good stuff guys!

Nice one !

This shot was scanned from a 35mm Kodachrome transparency, taken in the early evening at the PFA Rally, Leicester East, in 1981.
From memory, their second pass was even lower.
