Military flying clubs

[Lane]

I am an RN officer with a new appointment in Plymouth. Is there a military club or group owned aircraft with a vacany in the area?

I understand that there's a Royal Navy flying club at Culdrose and another at Yeovilton - which rather puts you midway between the 2.

Regrettably the Tigers have now left Roborough!!

What were the Tigers?

[BEagle]

The wonderful DH82a Tiger Moths which were once used by the RN to give EFT to Dartmouth Cadets! I understand that the RN was the last UK military operator of the Tiger, later they used the Chipmunk but now I understand that there's some civil contractor using plastic planes......

BEagle,

I beleive they are now using the Grob, although it is run by a civvie contractor, there has been a new naval air squadron formed for the job.
