DE HAVILLAND TIGER MOTH CLUB'S ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL MOTH RALLY WOBURN ABBEY

The de Havilland Moth Club's Annual International Moth Rally.
The Woburn Abbey Years
Annually held on 3rd week of August .
The de Havilland Moth Club presented it's 25th International Moth Rally in 2005 to the faithful that attend this wonderful event every year. It is held at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire England on the third weekend in August. Around 80 'Moths' of various types grace this attractive grass airfield over the weekend. 'Airfield' is a little over-stated here, whilst it was used as such during the Second World War, these days deer and sheep tend to graze the open parkland for 363 days of the year.
The rally is not just for all the Moth type aircraft, but for all the other de Havilland manufactured aircraft. De Havilland types attending have included the; Dragonfly, Dragon Rapide, Dove, Heron and latterly in large numbers the DHC Chipmunk. In 2005 an ex Army Air Corps DHC Beaver attended. Modern metal constructed aircraft or 'tins', which would spoil the period look are excluded. However other vintage types are welcome guests. Visitors at previous rallies have included; a 1932 Blackburn B2, Focke-Wulf 44 Stieglitz, BA Eagle and various Miles manufactured aircraft such as the Magister, Hawk Speed Six and Hawk Trainer. Even a helicopter in the shape of a SARO Skeeter has attended the rally. The Skeeter was invited as it is powered by a Gipsy Major engine.
Woburn Abbey is a the stately home of the Dowager Duchess of Bedford, there is no other place like it on Moth Club weekend.

Thanks for a great video! I was fortunate to see one of these at a fly-in fifteen years ago. I was amazed at how small they really are and how fragile they appear to be.
