I chanced across your photo while surfing. The visible ‘OGB’ suggests that these are the mortal remains of Tiger Moth G-AOGB. Public info on the CAA’s website shows that, after leaving RAF service, this Tiger was initially registered to Fairey Aviation between 17-11-55 and 20-6-61; ownership then changed to Westland Aircraft Ltd (Fairey Aviation Division, Hayes) . It seems that it was White Waltham-based. The date of the photo would have been 19-4-62. Following stalling and spinning in at Uffington, Berks, I doubt if the 2 occupants ‘walked away from it’ but they certainly survived!
Legend has it that this DH 82 was based at White Waltham with the Fairey flying club one of two “Tigers” along with a Tipsy B and an Auster. The pilot was Tom Hine who allegedly was on a cross country exercise for his PPL and spun in. Tom survived but badly injured. Many years later Tom came to the Fairey Surveys Geophysics department but has since passed away.
