The Barnstormers Flying Circus Tiger Moths


Two liveries included in this paint featuring a pair of Tiger Moths flown by the UK based 
Barnstormers Flying circus, which were regular performers at UK airshows. The paint scheme
is as was flown by the team in 1972. 
The Aircraft featured are G-APVT and G-AVPJ. 
Tragically, Victor Tango was involved in a midair the following year which claimed the life of it's pilot
along with the pilot of the other aircraft

'Written off (damaged beyond repair) 29.9.73, when collided with Rollason Beta G-ATLY. Tiger Moth G-APVT and Rollason Beta G-ATLY were positioning so as to join the circuit for landing at Nottingham Airport.

The Tiger Moth had contacted ATC by radio and been given permission to join the circuit. The Beta, which was not equipped with radio, was seen to approach from the south, make a turn close to the Tiger Moth and then collide with it.

It is concluded that the Beta collided with the Tiger Moth because the Beta pilot did not see the other aircraft in sufficient time to take evasive action. Both pilots of both aircraft were killed; Mr.B. Shaw (pilot of Tiger Moth G-APVT) and Mr. E F Burgess (pilot of Rollason Beta G-ATLY). The passenger on board Tiger Moth G-APVT (who was not named in the AAIB report) survived with injuries.

Registration G-APVT cancelled as aircraft "destroyed" 29.9.73.

On 7.10.2013 registration G-APVT restored to Matthew Charles Boddington, West Lodge Cottages, Sywell Lane, Ecton, Northampton. Airframe noted stored at Sywell [in 9.2014 and again in 2.2015], presumably awaiting rebuild. Still noted as "awaiting rebuild" at Sywell in 1.2018 '
