i have a lot of time on Tigers. They are a safe and beautiful aeroplane to fly. That is unless the wind is strong, then the claws come out. As the police rightly stated, it was not a day for Tigers yesterday. I would not have dreamed of getting mine out in 35 - 45kt winds. People at the fly in were surprised to see 1 approaching the field. Fortunately the pilot has lived to learn a hard lesson, and hopefully the aircraft will be spared. My thoughts are with him and his family.
