Ah yes the late great Stefan he really knew how to display the Bearcat to perfection.

He certainley did.

His Gnat and Hunter displays were a bit special too.

He would have been 66 years old now 🙁

Did Mark or Ray Hannah fly any of the TFC Fleet?
I’m also curious as to why TFC sold ML417. Wasn’t it a Normandy veteran with kills? Sorry if that’s off topic 🙂

Maybe they just got a good offer for her?

Shame she went Stateside, though, as she was one of my favourite Spits flying in the UK.

That’s the Tigercat, taken at VNY a couple of years back 🙂

Not all TFC pilots are naturals, some require additional lessons…

Ray Hanna did fly some of the fleet in the early days.

Elly Protheroe flew the B-25 sometimes.

ok, here’s a rare one:
Rolly Beaumont… 20+ years ago in the Beech Barron with Nick Grey…. I seem to recall some journos in the back who didn’t fair so well doing the photo op flight. I think there may have been a dogfight with the P47 or Hellcat & the Barron at some point…

Who was the french chap who flew in with the Curtis Hawk on Thursday? I ended up having lunch with him but his accent was quite strong and I didn’t catch his name properly.

Patrice Marchasson, thank you. Thought he said his name was Patrice and he had a long name beginiing ma on his flight suit. Must pay more attention next time!

Thanks Pete1

Did Clay Lacy fly the Tigercat while it was at Duxford before JC bought it? Guess I should ask him..
