Since I was so distracted and never really came up with any special image to honour everyone who puts up with my #$%^........I became a bit selfish and treated myself to a personal Tiger Moth.....even got my name on it, along with a couple of distinguishing changes from the original K4242........ Cheesy
Its not finished yet, but here is what it looks like so far...

I never modelled this A/C but it is done correctly, ....most two-place tandems are always flown from the back seat when solo........

Yeah someone who took me up for a flight in one said that when solo you sit in the back because otherwise the centre of gravity is screwed up.
