Piper Cub G-BTUM

As mentioned on the G-VFWE thread I was hoping to drop the pilot of a Piper Cub a thank you note - well photos arrived back this morning and the reg is:

BTUM

can anyone put me in electronic contact with the chap who took it to Kemble last month?

TIA

tKF - if you're thinking of the friendly Scotsman I am, then yes. Flies a Chippy these days, and is probably reading this.

Hiya WF!

Warped factor(Scottish bloke) was our sponsor for the West Drayton/Heathrow visit. A gem of a bloke. I am sure if he can help you in anyway he can then he will. Smashing feller he is.

You, sir, are a slave driver (not that I'm complaining

)

Did he fly in by Chippie?

Yes, BRL, you're right.

WB,

I have a number for AS, will just check it is still up to date (and see if he's on e-mail) before forwarding it to stik.

And yes re the Chipmunks.

Cheers,

WF.

"Bottom" is definitely based at Waltham. I know one of the pilots, but not very well - although if you don't have any luck any other way, send me a PM and I'll try to find out who was flying it on the day in question and pass a message on for you.
