Should you be inclined (as I just was :$ ) to do a Google image search for "A lovely pair of Bristols". This is the first picture you will see.

Big Bristols aside, this Tiger Moth makes me drool - I believe it's the very first SP2/Acceleration-native version, and it looks peachy. Classic and British, even if it is being made in Australia.

I see this model is before anti-spin strakes were fitted.

The developer says...
This aircraft is based on a RAAF Tiger Moth DH82A with a 130hp Gipsy Major engine as you would commonly find flying in Australia today (I haven't seen one yet that has strakes fitted).
I read a while back that it was only when laden for war with camo paint and bomb racks etc that there was a problem with spin recovery - maybe someone here has flown one and will know. Anyway, strakes or not it's an FSX native Tiger Moth, and a very sweet-looking one, and for that I am truly grateful.

I've got friends that have an Australian built Tiger Moth (minus its spin strakes) and that is designated a DH.82A. I only knew that by looking that up!!
