There was a good article in Pilot several decades ago about tugging with a Condor from Tibenham... wonder if I could lay me mits on it...?
That would be interesting if you could find it .....

Obviously the tuggies would have liked a little more ooomph and istr that the wingtip on at least 1 condor had ' half scale Pawnee ' written on it

I never liked being towed by a low power tug - but did enjoy being towed by a Large engined Pawnee when flying a lightweight single seater - twas almost like a winch launch lol and impossible to get a 'bow' in the towrope !
