And that is the problem, it has gone unsold for over a year 😉

Unfortunately its not got the general apeal of some other types such as TM’s
Still a rare aeroplane that deserves a good home.

A real pity he wont speak to me in view of our shared interest in Miles and Ryan ( there is a PT22 there too, in addition to a Vultee and Cornell I believe, plus others.)

Hairy[/QUOTE]

Bob had 3 PT22’s and i know at least 2 are still with him plus a PT 23 ( not a Cornell 😉 ) He also has BT 17, Pitts S2a ( ex Rothmans), Stampe (ex Rothmans) Stephens Acro, And the two Miles, whitney Straight and Monarch ( both in a bad way)
Also gem of gems is the loverly KZ8.

Bob has been discussing getting some of these treasures airworthy again. 🙂

But it should make the projected BoB film Cruise is supposed to be keen on doing very interesting. If he’s soloed on a P51, a Spit or Hurricane should’nt be too much trouble. I can’t recall a film in which the star actually flew an aircraft. Weird guy but I can’t help liking him.

George Peppard had a PPL durring thre filming of “The Blue Max” and was keen to do some flying but the film company would not allow it, he was allowed to do some taxying but that was all.

I aways remember John swinging the prop of G-AROY then running around to climb in the cockpit, as i was standing by G-AGTM’s wing tip. Then waving to him, when i was a member of Russavia crew at Duxford.

John never ran, he would swing the prop of the Stearman and it would cough gently into life. He would then walk to the wing tip whilst chatting to whoever and putting on his helmet, as the Stearman moved fwd he would wallk down the Trailing edge and climb aboard as the Stearman bumbled off!
What happy memories 🙂

RB failed to sell at £6k…

🙁

No suprise there!!

Delta Aviation do pleasure flights in Tiger Moths and (apparently now a deHavilland Rapide). IIRC they are Sywell based but don’t quote me on that.

Delta Offer “Trial Lessons” in Tiger Moths, big difference to a Pleasure flight! for that you need an AOC. Trial Lessons can be done by a flying school with an Instructor. As hairy plane has pointed out, taking money for a ride without an AOC and all that goes with it isnt allowed by the CAA. The rides in the Rapied are being done by AA under their AOC, Delta are effectively acting as the booking agent.
