WOW - ABSOLUTLY Gorgeous bird in 100% pristine condition. Its great to see this still flying . Perfect landing. IMHO this design should be reissued as a lightplane with today's technologies.

I don't blame you!

Many years back at Redhill airdrome, Surrey, I wandered up to one of these. At about 14, nobody worried about security, nobody minded as you looked at these valuable aircraft. Massive trust from the fliers, and great respect from me. I still remember an Arrow Active 'BVE'. A lucky lad back then. You have a beautiful aeroplane, a true work of art.

Thanks, there are some great ideas used in the manufacture of this plane that should be used today. I often think modern designers could learn from studying these concepts. Please like and subscribe if you can, this helps me create new content for the channel!

What a splendid video of a beautiful aircraft. Looking forward to seeing more in depth videos of classic aircraft. First time I saw an aircraft like the Leopard Moth was at an open day at the Hawker Siddeley factory at Hawarden around 1964-65. The Hawker Siddeley Flying Club operated a Tiger Moth and a Puss Moth, which was the precursor to the Leopard Moth. G-AAZP was its registration. So began a life long love affair with vintage aircraft. I always had a desire to restore an aircraft of that era, but life got in the way.

I think de Havilland proved the truth of the old saying if it looks right it'll fly right. Everything after the DH53 Humming Bird looked and flew right with one exception - the four engined machine that looked like an overgrown Rapide the name and type number of which I can't remember. This is one beautifully kept machine. Love the use of Dzuse fasteners on the cowling, much better than having to undo a dozen screws like a modern light aircraft.
