An amateur film produced by Ken Ellwood begins with several de Havilland Tiger Moth being flown from both the Sherburn Aero Club near Leeds in West Yorkshire and from the Marshalls Airfield near Cambridge during 1973. One of the Tiger Moth featured was owned and flown by the filmmaker with his daughter Deborah taking a ride as a passenger. The second part of the film features the filmmaker’s Tiger Moth being flown as part of the Woburn Tiger Moth Rally taking place in the ground of Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire in 1983 with prizes being awarded by Henrietta, Duchess of Bedford. In the sky a de Havilland Tiger Moth performing aerobatic stunts before coming into land at the Sherburn Aero Club. A second aircraft comes into land just behind it. The Tiger Moth in camouflage livery (Reg: N9232) taxi’s over to a hanger and the two men onboard climb out. With the help of two other men one of the pilot’s lifts and pushes the aircraft over towards another hanger where a man in a white shirt looks over the engine. Two men sit in the Tiger Moth while the man in white shirt attempt to start the aircraft by spinning the prop blade. The engine eventually starts and the aircraft taxi’s over to the runway accompanied by two men standing each side of the wings. At Marshalls Airfield near Cambridge another de Havilland Tiger Moth (Reg: G-AHIZ) taxis over to the runway passing an English Electric Canberra jet-powered medium bomber being moved by a tractor. Ken Ellwood and a second man look over the Tiger Moth as it is filled with fuel. The engine is started and the aircraft taxis across a grassed area. The Tiger Moth taxis towards the runway with Deborah Ellwood onboard taking off into the air. Three children play on grass in front of a Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer aircraft (Reg: G-AYFA) parked nearby. The Tiger Moth comes into land and Deborah is helped out of her flying suit. Ken Ellwood stand on the footplate of a steam traction engine which he drives past, he waves at the camera. At the Woburn Tiger Moth Rally a line of de Havilland Tiger Moth parked in a field. A man in a striped shirt walks over to a fence and hands pieces of wood to a boy standing on the other side. A Tiger Moth (Reg: G-ANZP) comes into land on the landing strip in the field before its engine is started again and it takes off into the air. It performs aerobatic stunts in the sky before coming into land again. Kath Ellwood stands with a couple watching the display, she looks up into the sky where the Tiger Moth seen previously is once again performing an aerobatic display before flying low over the airstrip. A man with a video camera laughs while a woman lays on blanket resting as the Tiger Moth continues its display in the air. Wearing a red skirt and top Henrietta, Duchess of Bedford walks over and speaks with a number of Tiger Moth owners. Standing behind a table she hands out awards and trophies to some of the participants, spectators applauding the winner.
