Chuck,

will find out which tailwheel flying school has this aircraft and send photo or details. I believe it is Booker or White Waltham.

As for landing tailwheel aircraft in crosswinds Beagle will tell you we had to do it all the time as students on UAS.

Later as an Instructor on Chipmunks I saw a couple of ground loops. One in a spot landing competition (solo student) His instructor was standing next to me on the grass and his comment? -'I told him not to do that ! !

The other one on concrete/tarmac at Marham -again a solo student who shook his head -forgot the brief and took off for his next circuit. We called him back for the mandatory undercarriage check.
