08/07/14 A World War Two Tiger Moth tips its wings in remembrance as it flies over a field where poppies spell out WW1 in giant red letters overlooking Belper in Derbyshire. The giant 100 foot letters were sown by members of Belper’s Army Cadets with 25 million poppy seeds last autumn - one for every man and horse killed in The first World War. Pilot, Will Flannagan from Blue Eye Aviation, said: "It is an honour to fly above them in our own wartime aircraft. We're already getting lots of requests from our customers to fly over them too- they look amazing from the air."
