Having spent many years trying to ‘grow up’ in Dunstable, one got quite blasé in respect to seeing ‘old’ gliders flying in the vicinity. I now live close to another well known gliding site and can testify that there are still many old gliders flying.
No doubt G-ASEA can remember a vintage gathering at Dunstable and they used a Tiger Moth (long after LGC retired theirs) to ariel tow? Thankfully the wind was easterly, so the Tiger was over the town regularly. My guess late 70’s or early 80’s?
I also remember LGC (London Gliding Club) having Tigers (just), but actually recall G-AWJJ better, the first plane I really saw and identified from there. Add to that, G-AYFE.
