The Tiger Moth seems to have suffered a bit of a prang. Looks like it's dripping oil so that can't be a good sign

Dripping oil is a good sign... Means it hasn't run out of oil yet!

Is that "Tiger Mouth" on the guy with the B-17 shirt? (Now I'm poking fun at Rob's spelling again! :lol: )

Hmm, thought that was only for Harleys and round engines.

So the sheet metal damage isn't due to the prang? Did somebody walk into it while not paying attention?

What happens when you land too high? Do you ever touch the ground?

Yes we were there to survey the damage to the Tiger Moth and check progress on the Mystery Ship And you should have seen the prop and tail! The whole insident had something to do with Turkeys on the grass strip beside the paved runway and some mud beyond the birds. I unfortunately did not witness the Great Colonel Hanging in an Inverted Position until someone was able to release his Harness! :shock:

What was the location of the turkeys again? Outside the Tiger Moth? Are you sure?
