Hi
As my “user name” suggests, I learned to fly (and get my PPL) with the East Bucks Flying Club based at Denham in 1953. The aircraft was a Tiger Moth G-ANDA then owned by Dick Nightscale of Nightscale Aircraft Services, and I am just wondering what has happened to this fine aeroplane as it does not seem to be on the Civil Register anymore.
Can anyone enlighten me for old times sake ? Regards Jeff

The two photos were taken at Denham in late 1960/70’s. PFU was destroyed in 1969 and the pilot in at least one of the shots is probably Tony Cheshire. I think he ran a training school at Denham in the late 1960’s but don’t anything more. Tony Cheshire also owned XAN from 1969 – 85, both shots were taken by a local news photographer who lived in New Denham and flew G-ASOK, but I’ve forgotten his name. Anyone remember it and I will add a credit.
Not seen anything about Tony Cheshire or his aircraft before, I do remember someone telling me he was an eccentric, need more of those!
