Design Description

Jason was the name of Amy Johnsons Tiger Moth. He quite simply celebrates the starting point and finishing point of Amy’s flight from England to Australia with both nations flags adorning it’s wings. There is also a replication of the badge which appeared on the side of the aeroplane. His head is the same colour green as the Amy’s Tiger Moth. It is decorated with rivets for a patina, also, detail on the ‘under-carriage’ is adorned with the same lettering G-AAAH.
