I’m loving the pictures on your website of the stearman, as perfect an indication of glue failure in a wing as I have ever seen! How do these places let their exhibits deteriorate like that?

Apologies for my ignorance and the slight thread creep, but who was Doug Arnold?

I know he seems to have been a collector of old aircraft, but did he trade as well, did he fly ones that ook his fancy and sold them off when he got bored or did he just collect rarer types – was he even picky at all? Was buying aeroplanes all he did or was he a city businessman – he must have got his money from somewhere.

I keep reading his name in many publications, he evidently did a lot for the preservation of aircraft, and seemingly didn’t die that long ago (early 90’s?), but I can find so little information on him….. anybody?

I believe its in the process of happening – I don’t think they are particularly quick!

Wow Tom, good luck with that, I don’t know too much about these new laws – glad someone here (UK) is doing something to keep these old planes operating. I see you guys are doing Revival in a couple of weeks time – are you flying the Tiger there or just a Rapide? I’ll be there on the sunday and would like to fly in something weather permitting.

Yes Roger I agree, I understood that EU-OPS affected all public transprt aeroplanes in some way or another – of course the bigger aeroplanes would be to fair worse – however I think even the little aircraft would be affected too, even if it was to a minor effect.

Relatively in the UK, I think we have a fairly big pleasure flying interest/industry – after its warrented articles int he aviation mags as to where to find such organisations. I was wondering what sort of industry therwe was on the continent – what sort of types they operated, and what their countries were doing about it. Maybe a concerted effort from all operators across Europe could have a bit more clout for dispensations than individual people. Maybe a common type (like a Rapide?) could be pushed type by type throught the system!

Thoughts anyone

Think I might be able to help with your request for photos of G-ADXT, I’ve just picked up a copy of the latest Flypast and it seems shes just changed hands, (her acquisition is featured on page 9 if you haven’t seen it.) I imagine you’ve got it, but if not their website is:

http://www.planeheritage.com

Its a pretty good website from having a quick browse, some excellent air-to-airs. I don’t know how close to Goodwood you are, but it might be worth contacting them. It seems like you can go fly in her soon too. 🙂

I see where your coming from, she does indeed look fine in that livery, in fact would make a great subject to model. Heck, I’ve always wanted a go in a Tiger Moth, I might just contact them too…!
