Actually the Gypsy Moth was a DH 60 and the Tiger Moth was a DH 82. Two different aircraft with a common lineage. I believe the DH 82 had a different engine too. But there are more knowledgeable members who could correct me.
Still it is a great film Beana51
 
Thanx Micky D,you may be correct,I do not know much of this plane..Except for the Bill Lyons Model..I made a simple inquiry and got this.Not Knowing any better I Used it..Should you Have other info? Why I would Greatly Appreciated...Thanx..Vin

 
The Gypsy Moth and Tiger Moth are absolutely different aircraft... same company, similar origins as said, but different aircraft in many and most regards. Certainly not alternate names for each other. That website seems to be a generic 'idiots guide to' things.. don't expect deep aviation knowledge.
