Flying Club clandestine operations
Tubbo (not real name) was the owner and instructor of a flying club with a bevy of run down C150's - One shabby 150 had the quaint habit of
the LH seat suddenly running back - usually on take off - bringing the stick unexpectably back to produce a spectacular climb out not to mention alarm to any novice pilot - but as Tubbo's fee's were the lowest on the field we didnt complain,
Now Tubbos car was of matching description to his fleet of 3 Cessnas
then one summer Tubbo arrived in a smart Bentley - with rumours
that a rich aunt had left him a bequest. Next arrived a rather nice twin
added to the Cessna fleet.
Suddenly without warning the club closed and Tubbo was
no longer to be seen on the field,
Then all was revealed. Dear old Tubbo had succumbed to easy money
and was now incarcerated at HM pleasure.
Apparantly dear old Tubbo had been immigrant smuggling - hence the 6 place
twin. I cannot be sure of the following but it is likely that it was Tubbo
that had aroused the suspicions of a farmer over an a/c landing in fields at night and so was waiting for the a/c's next arrival - and upon landing blocked him in with a Landrover,
Yes very very wrong of Tubbo but square his 5 immigrants a flight with
a certain Govts lie that but a 'mere' 13000 immigrants would arrive
from East Europe - but would prove to be well over 600,000 !.

If true, it's already a matter of record.

Immigrant Air Taxi
Tubbo was one of the most popular figures on the airfield - well liked
and a good friend - and an excellent instructor. It is just a great
Pity that he then sullied his licence - It takes skill to land a plane in a dark field at night - In earlier times his talents would have been ideal for SOE and Tempsford.
Regarding reveaing his identity - Tubbo served his time paid the penalty -
will have his criminal record for life and will probably never fly again as a pilot.

Why all the cloak and dagger stuff?

I just love waisting my time here solving enigma's.
the neighbor's cat had an accident when walking over the fence looking at the illegal immigrants.
Is this a clue?
