Tiger Moth pilot Jason Cheney and crew member David McGuinness shortly after landing in Warrnambool last weekend.

More than 200 visitors took the opportunity to enjoy a close up look at the Tiger Moth, along with a 1943 Boeing Stearman, and an intriguing selection of classic cars.

“The day exceeded our expectations, certainly in terms of visitor numbers,” secretary of the Warrnambool Aero Club Janek Krause said.

“It was one of our most successful events to date.

“The Kruzin Classics Warrnambool Car Club brought out a dozen or so vehicles and Tiger Moth joy flights, provided by Cressy Aerodrome, attracted a lot of interest and pretty much ran non-stop all day.”

There was numerous aircraft on display, including a 1943 Boeing Stearman biplane.
