Paul J Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Wow! 45 years ago to the day, April 16th 1972, is when I flew in these two charming little aeroplanes. Tiger Moth G-ACDC and Piper PA-18 Super Cub G-AVPT The location was Redhill aerodrome and the weather wasn't unlike this weekend as I recall. The pilot was a Ken Smith of the TIger Club who I had met one day and we talked models. The flights came about as an agrrement that I would build him a couple models for a single flight but the bonus on the day was a 12 minute trip in the Super Cub. which was preceded about a half hour earlier in the Tiger Moth. So, as an anniversary special I present once again two builds one very recent as you will recognise and the other from a few months back representing 'CDc and 'VPT in 1/72nd Happy Easter everyone! 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
