Moth 90th celebrated

摘要

Gusting winds around the country and a strong crosswind at their destination limited the turnout of DH60 Moths at Old Warden for the type's 90th birthday party organised by the de Havilland Moth Club on 3 June. Nigel and Sally Ann Reid flew G-AAWO in from Lee-on-Solent, from where Malcolm Paul and Phil Warren also arrived in G-AAJT. Ben Cox brought racing DH60 G-AAXG from Langham but owner Simon Kidston, who was planning to join the party by taking a commercial flight from Geneva to Luton, spent all morning in the Swiss departure lounge until he was forced to cancel. Other crews were cruelly frustrated by the wind at White Waltham, Goodwood, Durley, Biggin Hill and Malshanger.
