Thanks, I'll see if I can fill an a/c and have a day out then. Last time I was there it had just opened! Must have been around 1965.

the hourly rate was only £13 ph which seemed like a lot of money at the time.

My first flight was in a Rollason Condor at the princely sum of £7 an hour...

Quote:
My instructor for the first two flights in April was a Flying Officer Dai H-H.

DAi is still flying - he is CFI at Perth and we had our annual chat at the DA Symposium a fortnight ago!

Back in 2010 I had not flown for a few years apart from maybe an hour here or there per year in a cessna or piper, I bought my Maule taildragger and had it shipped over here, I hunted around for someone to re-teach me the basics again and how to fly the taildragger, met Dai HH and he gave me my first few hours of instruction, it was the best training i have ever had, he even give me a demo of how to land at my farm strip BEFORE I leveled it and right after i had ran over it with the grubber,

DHH is the man !!

Great pics, sorry to hijack the thread
