Saw a biplane over Aston, J31 M1 (one down from M18 jct) this afternoon, was that you?

I'm jealous!

Every so often I fancy a go in the Tiger Moth at the Duxford Museum's airfield, but then I look at the cost and put it off (again)...

I certainly flew over there - I could well have been at the controls at that point too

I did some straight and level, descending and some turns - apparently I have some aptitude if I wanted to take it further.

we went over the reservoirs used by the dambusters for training at 1000 feet - I can't believe they did it at 60 feet

I was lucky - Mrs Mooky treated me to it. If you get the chance you should have a go though you won't regret it.

Nice

I went up in a Harvard for my birthday a few years ago, just loved it though it's very landroverish inside, a great present from my wife

Ash, the Tiger Club is based in Headcorn Aerodrome, so get yourself down there I flew in a Stomp out of Rochester for my 30th.

But if you want low, when I was microlighting, we flew low enough over the field for my instructor to point out the tail wheels were touching the crops

Oh yeah, Mook, you lucky chap!!!!
