The Shuttleworth Trust’s D.H.Moth G-EBLV over Old Warden in June 1974.

Three months after the Cinque Ports Flying Club purchased D.H.Moth G-EBSS, a newly qualified pilot came to grief in it. He was aerobatting in the vicinity of Lympne and had completed two loops, but had difficulty recovering from a roll. While upside down he was thrown from the aircraft and killed. G-EBSS dived vertically into the ground close by.

Although not a photograph taken during the authors first solo, this does show the actual D.H.Moth, G-EBWC, featured in this article. The aircraft was the de Havilland Company's' demonstration model, and is seen here in the capable hands of Hubert Broad during the Cinque Ports' Flying Club Easter Meeting at Lympne in April 1928.

Almost certainly another picture of ’WC at Lympne during Hubert Broad's demonstration flight in Easter 1928.
