Moth in a tree. Having lost the crucial part of its registration in the accident we can only guess that this was either G-EBRT (410) or G-EBRZ (413), on the other hand it could be one of the other G-EBR. Moths and have survived this arboreal contact! Any ideas welcome.

This time something for the really myopic! How many aircraft are there in this fly-past? When you've got that can you identify the type, operator and location? If anyone is still stuck here's a tiny clue; the lead aircraft is G-ACMP!
The six aircraft comprise the Jersey Airways fleet of about 1933 flying over St.Peter Port. The leading pair are Dragons G-ACMO and G-ACMP.
