TIGER MOTH AND THE MATERIALS WE HAVE
The Tiger Moth is probably the most well known and loved Biplane in the world and is a true classic.
The Tiger Moth was the very first propeller we ever bought in 2012 and what started us of in Historic aircraft propellers.
Since 2012 we've come across and bought a few in various states of disrepair and still its one of our most popular propellers.
All the propellers we use have full markings so we can guarantee the aircraft and date used, we never use complete propellers only damaged unwanted propellers and with the Tiger Moth mostly we get the centre hub of the propeller.
