This very nice and authentic Tiger Moth was built by Morris Motors and delivered to the RAF as T6553 in Aug 1941. Withdrawn from use in Dec 1950 and sold in Oct 1953. Became G-APIG in Oct 1957 and went though several owners until stored in Oct 1973. Restored in 1976 and painted in its original RAF markings as T6553. First post-restoration flight was on 23 Dec 1976. Sold to France 10 years later, and registered as F-AZEI on 31 Dec 1987. It had several French owners before it was registered to its current owners Marc Jannin and Annie Le Flohic on 17 Jan 2000. The aircraft is based at Bernay.
