Tiger Club

Yes, all remembered -- also the TSR3 ! and Arrow Active in the back of the hangar.


Those were the best days of my flying life. Carefree flying with total enthusiasts who were the top of the Aerobatic and racing world. Never since have I done so many hours in one year - 1981 - 85 hours, nowadays average 30 ! Mind you my Fournier RF4 G-AWBJ was very economical at 2.5GPH.
We had a proper pilots club house and were 'forced' to eat Margaret's Chilli for Sunday lunch. Club members took it in turns to be duty pilot and duty check pilot and to make the afternoon tea. A proper club atmosphere, unlike where I fly now where we do not even have a club house for private owners.
