Cubs, Champs, Taylorcrafts and thingz

Nice stuff Armwaver.

Here’s one of Propstrike ……and one from BTUM too! 😀

MC. Don’t worry about the Tiger. I suspect they were designed to humble people like us!! If you’re going to be passing Bicester anytime PM me and I’ll arrange a prod around Piets and Pushpaks and things!

Thanks for the offer, I’d love to take you up on it, the only problem is finding time. I always seem to be at work or in bed.

I used to do a lot of flying with the gentleman (Roger Jones) holding up the tail of his Aeronca Chief G-BRXL in the early 1990s. Best weekend away was to the Isle of Mull from North Weald which took over 9 hours!!

Just got sent this one.

Caption competition folks?

I’ll start it with: “One of them’s called Fat Bullet” 😀

Ok, I’ve got 2 pens, 3 crisp packet wrappers, an empty can of Coke and a mouldy pork pie in the footwell but no money, how we gunna pay that landing fee? 😮 🙂

That nice Cub’s a Clipper 😉

This nice Piper Cub was seen at Campbeltown’s Machrihanish Airport on the occasion of Kintyre Air Show, 22nd July, 2006.

Interesting to see G-AKVN ‘out West’. It normally lurks in darkest Norfolk!!

Damn, caught out……..photo was taken at North Weald (you can just make out The Squadron in the background) about three years ago. All the others are West Country photos…..honest! 🙂

There is something about the C-3… I am beginning to really warm to them. I blame Ord-Hume’s book for this interest… I doubt I’d ever get a go in one – too much bulk not enough plane… 😀

Meanwhile still further West, a ‘barn queen’ C-3 and an ‘intercept’ last year over the Hudson river!

A few Champs / Cub’s / Luscombe’s from Oshkosh 2006

Lovely to see G-AYKT again. As a snotty-nosed ‘hangar brat’ I logged a lot of right hand seat time out of Teesside in her in the early 1970s, thanks to her then owners Bill Gillham and John Gladdish. The latter had made his first solo in 1917 in an RNAS Avro 504!!

Come to think of it. Thirty years on. Stilly snotty-nosed, still flying the same type of aeroplanes!

and these……

And some various West Country airframes from me…..

Martin

And specially for Propstrike after his comments on Pushpak/Pietenpol formation speeds…….some REAL Aeronca formation flying 😀

Gents:
Seen in Central Ontario this summer past. Nice Paint job.

G-ARAM used to fly on skis with the Tiger Club (when it snowed ) mid 1960’s.
That was back in the days when we used to have real snow.

here’s a few couple of G-ARAM on her way back to good health.

Cheers…
I’l have a nose in the albums at home and see if any others leap out at me to scan and post…
