Anyone got Tiger Moth G-ANSM in their log book on what appears to be a visit to Exeter in the sixties? I've got a 3" x 3" b&w Ilford photo of it - dark fuselage, light registration, wings and tailplane. No other markings. There's an unidentified glider (partially obscured by the left wing) and two men -maybe pilots - standing on the other side. The picture was taken from the fence on the Aeroclub side of the airfield. It might have been taken by me or a school friend, I can't recall what I did yesterday, never mind nearly fifty years ago... :sad:
I found the following link (https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=8&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CEsQFjAH&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pprune.org%2Faviation-history-nostalgia%2F232394-history-particular-dh82a.html&ei=DgB1VM_2K8vmasH7gbgL&usg=AFQjCNFJvyx6OfbeFRhZEbTFHm-fHFkS0w) to a Pprune thread back in 2006 while I was searching its history.
I'd be happy to pass the photo on to anyone with a reasonable claim to being connected with it. :)

Bet it was Geoff Tregonning who had gone to retrieve one of the gliders of the Devon and Somerset gliding club. He did most of the flying in G-ANSM in those days. Colour scheme was a maroon fuselage with silver wings. Happy days indeed.
