Narrative:
De Havilland DH.82A Tiger Moth MSN 83539 (built by Morris Motors at Cowley, Oxford): Taken on charge as T7112 at 5 MU RAF Kemble, Gloucestershire 11.7.40. To 16 OTU RAF Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire 29.10.40. To 5 MU RAF Kemble, Gloucestershire 12.1.41. To 22 EFTS RAF Teversham, Cambridge 21.2.41. To 4 (S) Flying Instructors School, RAF Teversham, Cambridge 24.6.41. To 5 Flying Instructors School, Perth 6.7.42. To 11 EFTS RAF Perth/Scone, Tayside 21.11.42.

Stalled and crashed low-flying Murthly, Perthshire 30.8.46; the aircraft was being flown on an authorised low-level flying training sorite. During the sortie, the Student Pilot under training executed a steep turn to port, and followed this with a similar steep turn to starboard. However, during these manouevures, he allowed the aircraft's airspeed to decay to the point where the Tiger Moth stalled. The pilot then lost control of the aircraft, and it dived into the ground at Murthly, Perthshire. As far as is known, both crew survived uninjured.

Murthly (Scottish Gaelic Mòrthlaich) is a village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It lies on the south bank of the River Tay, 5 miles (8 kilometres) southeast of Dunkeld, and 9 1⁄2 miles (15 kilometres) north of Perth.
