Fur's Tigermoth Flight

Other Links

My wife and I took a couple of days off in November, 2003, to drive down to Torquay, Victoria, to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary by taking a joyflight in a 1930s Tiger Moth at Tigermothworld, returning by the Queenscliff-Sorrento ferry.

They lent us a flightsuit, leather jacket, goggles and leather helmet - they were all needed - it was very fresh in the open cockpit!

Here are some pictures of our trip.
