Independent Go Pro flight from 1500 feet
This is slo motion footage as a Go Pro leaves a Tiger Moth and ends up in the sea. It was recovered several weeks later about 5 miles down the coast by a guy walking on the beach.
The plane was identified by the chap that found it and he tracked the pilot down and returned it.

And it settled next to a turd.... How appropriate. Flies on old British turd, falls off, rests next to one.

Mike,,,you're a braver man than me mate. Coming on here and making disparaging remarks about the DH82 . Ooh Matron !
Having done a few hours in one at The Tiger Club prior to flying my Volksplane, I can vouch for the fact that they're superb training machines. Excellent for sharpening ones co-ordination skills.
I can only conclude that Mike's "Turd Theory" alludes to the Moth's ground handling. Which I'm convinced is not possible to do when one's sober.
