I was a member of the RAF College Flying Club throughout 1966, and soloed in G-ANEF on 29 May. I am sure it was the only Tiger Moth there then. The only other aircraft associated with the Club at that time was Auster 5 G-AOCP. There was also a privately-owned Jodel Ambassadeur in the hangar, G-ARXT.

Unfortunately, G-ANEF came to an unhappy end. It was damaged at Cranwell some years later and sold to Sweden to be restored. Immaculate in bright RAF yellow, it became SE-AMM and also bore the original RAF serial for the aircraft. It was involved in a double fatal accident at Karlstad in 1999; the link to the accident report is here:
