I’ve had an email from the Fella who actually wrote the Haynes manual on the Tiggie…….:D He is not a million miles away from where you think he might be. 😀

I have bought one from Amazon for a very reasonable price I must say…. but don’t tell him!…..he assures me he is a struggling author. 😀

As the OP… my interest was that if anyone fairly local to me was restoring a Tiggie then I would like to see what was being done and if possible help out..just out of interest to me…..that’s all.

I could go and buy my own Tiger but polishing hangar aircraft does not feature in my future plans I am happy to report. I do not have a pilots licence either.
I do occasional get the chance to fly in a Tiger but the opportunity is about to dry up I am sorry to say.
