Tiger Moth needed!
 
A pub friend really wants a 15/30 minute flight from an airfield in Kent, Sussex, Surrey Hants.

Any ideas folks?

Tiger Club - Headcorn
 
The Tiger Club at Headcorn are the folks for this sort of thing.

Or, failing that or anything closer, the Classic Flight at Coventry.
Otherwise, I have a friend in Oslo who would be willing to take him "for a spin";)

cheers,
Jake.

You need to take into account that Spit161 is a 17 year old schoolboy who appears to be attempting to set the all time PPRuNe record for the most posts per day.
Since registering 18 days ago he has made 127 posts - an average of 7 per day.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Mods have deleted many of them, the total and average figures would be even higher.

Ahh! Then I shall not hinder him - let him pointlessly post away!

You could always try Ian Perry at Shoreham who advertises Tiger Moth flights in G-AMNN.

I think he calls himself PerryAir nowadays?

Also E.V.Ation at Redhill, Surrey do exactly the same.

Or at Goodwood, specialise in cars but do Moth flights as well.

As WKW has already said, the renowned Tiger Club at Headcorn in Kent is the place to go.
If your friend wants to experience flying a classic British biplane then doing it at the British home of the Tiger Moth is all part of the enjoyment. The Tiger Club was founded in 1956 (originally for pilots interested in racing Tiger Moths) and is still going strong. They have a few Tiger Moths (and other interesting old aircraft) and offer trial lessons.
I've got no axe to grind. I used to be a member, but that was 20 years ago.

A recommendation from you, FL, is a command.

My Pa loved them for his fun flying - the drop the hat thing at Elstree 'air show' was in them. One of my very few childhood memories. Apparently Philip Wills called me 'the Cooklet'. Chippies were his chosen work mode of transport.

Gliding his first love though.

Thanks to all again.

Only two of them this side of the North Sea......and one found something with the wing recently! ;)
