I always thought that was a Victorian remedy for the Clap :}

Didn'y SKY F1 man Ted Kravitz fly himself to the Belgium Grand Prix recently?

If he didn't, it looked real!!

I remember when I was at Luton in 1998 - 2001 a frequent JetRanger visitor was G-DOFY. Apparently it was previously owned by Sarah Ferguson - Dutchess of York.

Ah, I had forgotten the great Dick Emery - he waved at me and smiled on the apron at Blackpool many moons ago as I taxied past in a 152. Made my day. I think he owned a Bonanza.

Also, Will Hay was a pilot and owner in the thirties.

Danny Glover - film star.

Noddy Holder(SLADE) in the 90's had a share in G ROAR C401 I Think? Last saw flying a chippie at Barton late 90's

Here's an obscure one, former lead guitarist of 1980's metal band Queensryche Chris DeGarmo is now a Corporate Bizjet pilot.

Auntie Mabel
 

in Come Outside she flies, and Pippin the dog loves it!

Eddie Izard.

Ricky Parfitt of Status Quo used to fly at Fairoaks in the seventies. He owned a Piper Warrior 151 G-BDZX for a while.

David Gilmour did used to have aircraft at North Weald under the name Intrepid Aviation. But sold most of it off and moved about 13 years ago.

nobody mentioned Jimmy Edwards - Auster pilot and I think Kings Cup air racer when I was a lad

Racing driver Graham Hill...think it was a PA23 Aztec he used to fly.

Jimmy Edwards - Dakota pilot in WW2. Told the story that he was one of the first across the channel on D-Day but got lost. Had to turn round and head home thus causing chaos among the aircraft still heading for France.

Don't forget Norman "on yer bike" Tebbit. BA FO?

Roger Whittaker (New world in the morning) used to fly himself down to Kenya where he was born.

Dick Emery also used to own a Chipmunk many years ago, I remember seeing it at Plymouth

Jamie Whitham

Motorcycle racer he's got two light aircraft and his family own an airfield up north somewhere, top bloke.

Jim clark the racing driver, Colin Chapman of Lotus both owned Piper Comanches in the 60's, both the single and twin versions.

Christopher Reeve used to come down to the Tiger Club in his slightly tatty Triumph TR6, wearing very casual clothes. He used to fly the Tiger Moths and Stampes. Always ammused me that he would sit in the club room, totally incognito -- most of the people did not know who he was.

Later on he starred in a documentary film about the Tiger Club ---- does any one have a copy ?

A fellow with a touch around a golf course has a Grumman Gulfstream. Lives in Florida and made a one-stopper in Helsinki to visit me in the Beach Club.

Yes, I've got that film on VHS - remember those? Unfortunately, it's in storage in Canada and I'm in Vietnam!

It's a great film and it's on my list to convert to digital as soon as my stuff is out of storage next year.
