Three Tiger Moths fly in formation over the Clutha River south of Luggate, towards Bendigo and on to Alexandra after leaving Wanaka Airport yesterday afternoon. The planes are part of a group of vintage aircraft, mainly made up of Tiger Moths, on a flying safari of Otago and Southland. A group of 12 vintage planes, made up mainly of Tiger Moths, will be flying around Otago and Southland during the next week as part of a safari. The group, from the Tiger Moth Club of New Zealand, stopped for lunch at Wanaka Airport yesterday afternoon. It was difficult to determine the number of Tiger Moths in New Zealand, as many were stored in sheds, but there were about 35 which flew, Mr Wood said.
