The first batch of civil Tiger Moths (apart from a few "one offs") were seven aircraft, registered G-ACBA to G-ACBG, and in black and orange livery, which were used at the Filton Reserve School from 1933 onwards.
G-ACBB was first registered to the Bristol Aeroplane Company (who operated the Filton Reserve School under contact to the Air Ministry) on 30/12/1932. This aircraft was written off when it collided in mid air with another Tiger Moth, G-ACBE, also of the Filton Reserve School, over Yate, Gloucestershire (12 miles north-east of Bristol). Both crews of both aircraft (four people in all) were killed.
Registration G-ACBB cancelled 8/1/1935 on grounds of "destruction or permanent withdrawl from use of aircraft"
