Charles had suggested he would like fly in a Tiger Moth, and was indeed 'on paper' a member of said Tiger Club at Redhill.
Very soon RAF chaps arrived to inspect our T Moth G-ACDC which at the time was the oldest Moth in regular club use, and also a veteran of all manner of air show flying including Standing on the wing, Crazy flying, balloon bursting, leading the 'Balbo', basic aero's, and even towing the odd glider. You could say DC was a well rounded Tiger that never missed a beat., and was in regular daily use checking out new members. I think the RAF chaps ran out of paper doing a snag sheet, although the machine did have an excellent intercom but of course no radio.
So Charles never experienced our machine but no doubt flew one with an immaculate paint job !!!
