    I duuno, you’d think the Biggles Biplane Boys would have rushed their other Tiger Moth mocked up as a BE2… :diablo:

    Adrian

    Aint got another Tiger Moth mocked up as a BE2 :confused: Do have a BE2 Replica that happens to use some Tiger Moth components though 😀

    Oh and Propstrike, this is a half hour TV docu drama with a very modest budget, and was done with what was available and possible!!! If you can tell me how to film a Tiger Moth Air To Air at night i would love to hear it. so wait untill you have seen it and get a life 😀

    I did not get a copy of the printed programme.

    Buy the programme, it not only swells the money to go to charity, it also lets you know whats going on 😀

    It’s been mentioned a number of times on here already. The airctaft was on show at the recent Spitfire day as well.

    Some people just dont pay attention do they 😀

    When you do these “beat ups” at your gliding clubs i presume that you have the required exemption from the 500ft rule in place at all times :rolleyes:
    It seems that we seem to be getting a little confused here! A pilot who is performing at a public display must hold a Display Authorisation, and that Authorisation will allow him to do the display he is carrying out. If that Display includes aerobatics then he will have been authorised to do do by a display examiner. this means that he will have displayed to that examiner he is compitent to do the said aerobatics and will not be allowed to display at low level untill he has done so. There fore we are legislated for low level aerobatics at displays allready ( the military have there own system!!)
    Low level aerobatics by GA pilots who have not been trained and not at public events is kinda hard to police and i fear that in the majority of accidents due to low level aero,s this is the case. Education is the best way to try and prevent these accidents but you willnever stop the guy who in the heat of the moment decides to have a go!!! It may look easy when you see it at a Display, it Aint!!!! If you have not been proberly shown and have the required qaulification “Dont Do IT!!”

    Oh dear!!

    In future, why not paint aircraft in varying shades of black and white to represent what is in period photos.

    Do you know how many shades of black and white there are!!!!! Bet there will be someone to tell you that you got the wrong ones 😀
