Yator, Let me put it in words of one or two syllables for you. I will be at Queenscliife Cruising Yacht Club this weekend. If I see a tiger or any other airborne vehicle at what I believe to be less than 500 feet, I will report you to CASA, that is a promise. I will enourage others to do the same, including two other pilots plus at least one former policeperson, who have infiinitely more experience than I do, and carry more weight than I do.
I have nothing against Tigers, having just shelled out considerable $$$ for some birthday flights up Point Cook way, but I cannot and will not abide fu^&ing cowboys who not only scare the hell out of my potential passengers, but bring the entire profession into disrepute.
You wanna play games and see if I mean it? Make my day.
The rules are there for a reason, you want to screw with the rules go somewhere else.
As for Fluffy, yes i've been to Barwon Heads - once, and its up to you to prove that you are safe, because I'll be f&*cked if I am going to scare the living sh&t out of me or my passenger on your say so.
I am an old pilot, certainly not a bold pilot, and I don't go places where there is a bad reputation - which includes Barwon Heads, Torquay, Apollo Bay and suchlike. Don't you understand that you are off limits to lots of people? I don't give a flying F6ck about the legalities that some of you talk about. The mere fact that you are talking about "jumping through cloud" "carrying radios', let alone Tigers going head to head, lances underneath trikes, tells me all I need to know - unprofessional cowboys. justify it as you will. YOU ARE A NO GO AREA, AND WILL REMAIN SO UNTIL YOU DEMONSTRATE ADHERENCE TO PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS - i'M NOT HOLDING MY BREATHE.

Oh yestam me tinks you should keep playing in your yacht, you sound like a very old pilot if things in the real world seem a bit scary at times. You see all this !!!!! you describe is a bit too much to be really true and I tink you have no fu**in* idea of what happens at BH but your little ego trip wiil be in your mind only so come see for yourself oh I forgot you are judge and jury.
Sky diving has not been happening for a couple of years at BH (dropping there that is) so point 1 of your story shot down, trikes all use radio so point 2 shot down, a low flying trike is known around the traps but not originating from BH so point 3 shot down, a/c from the other side of the bay visit this area you know so get onto there case as it is a good chance they are the ones you see.
Tigers low ,if you know them then why so late in reporting? oh I forgot you are now a liitle peeved so you will give em a 225 if your 500ft. judgement is any good. We do not need to prove anything this way as you would know if you care to contact CASA you will see a bloody lot of reports about certain bad airmanship from visitors like you who leave the confines of regulated fields and think you can do what you like at small dromes, well son we do not need you here under your present mind but if you get a fit of saneness come on down the offer still stands and believe it or not you will be welcomed. (rant over)

Why is the OP complaining about DH82s? Next to Merlins the Gypsy has a sweet sound.
If the old codger shelled out a few bucks and went for a fly in one he'd be a tad less bitchy about them.
He says he's an old pilot but what old pilot rubbishes a few guys having fun in a Moth?

No conclusions - Check the CASA register.
You realise FBA's registered operator 'TIGER MOTH PTY LTD' has nothing to do with Tiger Moth World right? You're drawing a conclusion from a coincidence.
