1944-1946
AGPK was built in 1944. As this was towards the end of WW2, she was stored until she was transferred to the French Air force. Her role then was to provide training for buddingpilots —just as she was designed to do. 1946-1971After several years with the military, the remainder of her dme in France was with several French flying clubs including those in Le Fayet, Moulins and Voile Chatres before being sold to tier next owner in the USA.

1971-1988
In the early 1970's AGPK flew to live in North Carolina and later to Memphis, Tennessee for her next owner. In 1988 her many years in the USA were over and she returned to England where she was caught up in the 1980's boom for the restoration of vintage aeroplanes and cars. It was at this time a total rebuild took place and an immaculate TIC flew again in the British skies in 1989.

1988-2003
Beautifully restored at Sywell Aerodrome, Northampton by lan Castle and Matthew Boddington she has been finished in the distinctive colours of The Brooklands Aviation Company which flew Tiger Moths at Sywell during the 1930's and throughout WW2. Known and respected for her pristine condition she has won many prizes and has been captured many times on canvas, some of which can be seen in the Aviator Hotel at Sywell Aerodrome where she is based.Since beginning her current role of commercial trainer for Delta Aviation, who own and operate her, she has flown over 5000 people and given them the special feeling of flying in one of Britain and the world's greatest aeroplanes.
