Here's a couple of pics of my Grandads Tiger Moths and a pic of one my dad crashed near Cunderdin in the wheat belt area of Western Australia. My dad got a blood nose from this crash but my Grandads Tiger Moth didn't come off quite as well. These sort of accidents were all too common, power lines are the scourge of crop dusters.
Good stuff Dave,I can see the conundrum low flying crop sprayers v low overhead power lines not good at all,like you said happened far to many times,at least your Dad walked away from that one............
Someone needs to mow the grass around that Auster!
Thanks for those pics Dave, fascinating stuff
