Hmm Tiger Club, at my age that means Redhil Aerodrome (as a young spotty spotter, later a less spotty and motorcycling spotter) and the brooding presence of the Bristow HQ.
Rollasons rebuilds of anything Mothy, plus Turbulents and Condors.

Back to Tiger Moths - I have strange belief that Tiger Moths are like the mythical phoenix, no matter the level of destruction, eventually they are reborn.

Shorts Sealand made at the wrong time, but what a lovely aeroplane.

Lowtimer.
Yes I forgot that obtaining original engines would be a major problem and I guess substitution of a modern equivalent would involve a full certification..

Oh Well, this thread has come a long way from where it started,
so it's time for a Pipe of Tobbaco and a daydream about the Shorts Sandringham :-)
