Superb! I love the lines of the early Moths.

These are two of my favorite restored examples of the Gypsy Moth, absolutely gorgeous aircraft and very well maintained.

G-AANL

And NX60MZ, which is located in California.

Yes, lovely aircraft! There's a DH.60G flying around here too:

Built in 1929 by DH Australia as serial A7/44, original registry VH-AFN, later served with several RAAF squadrons. After service in the RAAF the aircraft came in the hands of an Australian club, then moved to the USA and later ended up in the Netherlands. Currently flies with registration N168G.

What is the difference between the Gypsy and Tiger Moths?

 

[Dimus]

I think the Tiger was a development of the series intended for the need of the RAF for a basic trainer. It had swept wings (not for aerodynamic reasons but I believe for CG reasons) and the Gipsy motor was inverted.

 

[ThinkingManNeil]

What is the difference between the Gypsy and Tiger Moths?

The wings on the Tiger Moth are swept back and the center section containing the fuel tank in the upper wing is moved forward. The reason for this is that the Royal Air Force found that the original DH.60 Moth was unacceptable as a training aircraft due to the fact a student pilot sitting in the front pit could not easily evacuate the aircraft if wearing a parachute and changing the wing set-up corrected this. Moving the center section of the upper wing forward necessitated sweeping the wing panels back to correct for a change in the center of gravity. Also, the Gypsy Major engine in the Tiggy was inverted whereas the 60's was in an upright configuration. I think there were also some changes to the landing gear (I know that the gear on Canadian-built Tigers are swept forward more than those on their British cousins)

There was an article in an issue of National Geographic several years ago about the annual EAA Oshkosh fly-in that had a photo of either a DH.60 Moth or a Pietenpol Air Camper with a windyvane airspeed gauge that was simply marked off in three colourful segments: yellow with the words "Too Slow!!" at the front of the gauge, green in the middle for "Just Right!", and red towards the rear for "Too Damn Fast!!!" )
