DH 87B Hornet Moth seen at Cranfield in the 1990s. #Photography#PhotographyOnMastodon#Aircraft#Aviation#Cranfield#PFARally

A restored de Havilland DH.87B Hornet Moth, registration G-ASLB, sits poised at Cranfield in the 1990s under soft afternoon light, its red fuselage gleaming with silver trim and white accents. The aircraft’s distinctive cabin biplane design features side-by-side seating beneath a curved canopy, evoking 1930s elegance and touring comfort. Squared wings with minimal stagger are supported by slender interplane struts, while the silver tail bears a subtle emblem, adding a touch of vintage charm. In the background, a scatter of other classic aircraft suggests a lively aviation gathering, framing the Hornet Moth as both centrepiece and survivor of a bygone era.
