Tiger Moth

"What was that?"

- The Fat Controller, "Sir Topham Hatt's Holiday", fifth season

Tiger Moth is a red and yellow bi-plane who is reckless and daring. He flies high and low, doing tricks to show off, and is very rude indeed. He learnt his lesson after crashing into a haystack.

Appearances
Tiger Moth first appeared in the fifth season, and later appeared - with a face - in the "Thomas and Friends" magazine story "The Great Air Race", in which he challenged Harold to a race and lost.

Basis
Tiger Moth is loosely based on a de Havilland Tiger Moth with a radial engine and tail resembling that of a Sopwith Camel.

Merchandising
Tiger Moth is available as a Bandai Tecs model. His ERTL and Learning Curve Wooden models have been discontinued.
