SunderlandMatt,
Yes, Thanet Flying Club / TG Aviation is still with the Girdlers, Ted's son Mark is in charge now, and doing a great job. Another Warrior, an Archer and a Stearman have been added to the fleet since 1999.
I remember jealously watching the crowds of youngsters going flying when I was doing my PPL there in 1999 - you must have been one of them. Not so many youngsters around now, now that RAF Manston is now London Manston International, or something...
