Wendy Gilmour Don't think the aircraft in the photo is a Tiger Moth much earlier machine with the exhaust alongside the fuselage Tiger Moth exhaust was under the inverted engine

John Kerr
Might be at the race track?

My husband Don Eadie says it is definitely a Fox Moth operated by Air Travel, forerunner of NAC. It ran an air service from Jackson’s Bay, Hokitika, Greymouth, Westport and Nelson. Probably early 1930’s. Hope this helps!
