Description
Heritage
The designer of the Tiger Moth, Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, was a keen entomologist - so it is not surprising that he named some of his aircraft designs after ‘Moths’.
The first de Havilland Moth, to grace the fairest Cape was flown from London to Cape Town and back during the 1920’s by Lady Mary Bailey, wife of Sir Abe Bailey (one of the wealthy Randlords of South Africa’s colorful history).
When World War Two broke out in 1939 there became an urgent need to train as many pilots as possible both in Britain and in the Allied countries.
