Before his famed World War 2 bomber The Mosquito, aircraft designer Geoffrey de Havilland was best known for this beauty and so many pilots who went on to fly jet fighters, The Concorde or massive jumbos learned to fly in a Tiger Moth.
We’re told this aircraft is easy to learn to fly but hard to master – and demands a pilot’s attention. So much so that Susan was amazed to find out that she is one of a rare group behind the controls of this plane.
She is now the only woman in Africa who is rated and licensed on the Tiger Moth and is one of seven women globally that is licensed on the Tiger Moth.
When she is not flying, Susan is serving as a committee member at the Brakpan Aero Club.
