Not my first flight by any means but a most memorable one was in a Tiger Moth from Duxford, on a fine Summer's day. Mrs G bought it for my 60th birthday. Once we got to safety height the pilot gave me control and apart from him doing some rolls and loops it was mine. We flew over Kings College and as I circled over the quadrangle the tourists must have thought it a fine sight. Pilot took control on finals and that was it. I would add that, during the flight, he was probably doing a bit of tweaking in the back!
