Lenhamlad - Out of interest, does the Headcorn dispensation count for the Tiger Club guys as well? I was thinking I might give them a call to see if could get some DH82 flying but thought they might be grounded due to being transponder-less.
Indeed it does. In fact, the Tiger Club is organising a Balbo on Wednesday when the olympic flame passes through Maidstone. PM me with your number and we can liaise.
