Aircraft purchased and under restoration in
Canada by S. Jamie Wilson. Canadian
registration CF-AHM
10/2019 From the current owner Doug Watson
of Lindsay Ontario.
I wish to update your
information on this Tiger Moth
aircraft A17-695. It was owned
by Jamie Wilson who brought it into
Canada in 2002 or there about.
He kept it till 2013 or 14
having done much of the wooden
restoration parts; the turtle deck,
and cockpits, and much of the control
box. His AME had moved across
the country to BC and he had other
interests as well, so sold the project
to a Transat pilot who lived in
Gatineau across the river from Ottawa.
He and his wife
separated and he then sold the tiger
moth to me in April 2015.
I didn’t get to
restoring it until that November, and
because of the weather I had to take
some time to insulate and improve my
garage for spray painting etc.
It is just about ready to be
inspected for a Canadian C of A.
The engine is the last thing to
put together and install. I am
hoping that by the end of the year it
will be licenced. It won’t get flown
until the snow melts and the ground
dries out next spring, but that is the
timeline.
It has been painted trainer yellow
with the original insignia along the
fuselage and roundels on the
wings.

another incident in about 1952, though the
Status Card states that the aircraft was
converted to components after the 03/45 crash.
