G-AOTF today

G-AOTF was one of the ag-chippys. Shown here in about 1985 with a 160 hp Lycoming in a fetching air defence grey colour scheme - which when you think about it has to be the worst colour to paint a tug.
Someone in the RAFGSA must have shared your view on the colour scheme. As this is how she appears today, much loved at RAF Odiham, even with 'that' canopy.

What we really need is a Thruxton Jackeroo type four seat conversion for her, as there are always more people wanting to fly G-AOTF than there are gliders to be towed!

G-ATVF comes to see us (from RAF Halton) when we are hosting an instructor's course or to permit dual flying when someone wants to convert onto G-AOTF.



P.S. Anyone know a good source of Chipmunk tailwheel tyres?
