• Peter Castoldi said:

  Wow - This is fantastic! I remember learning about the glass plate photography - difficult to get the negative, takes some skill. I believe it was called Collodian Wet Plate?

• National Library NZ on The Commons said:

  Did you know, the exterior of the Tiger Moth was usually made of timber and fabric? I guess this photo proves it! I learned this on a tour of the HARS museum in Albion Park Rail, check out their site for more info: www.hars.org.au/2009/05/de-havilland-dh-82-tiger-moth-vh-...
