Yours truly " Amazing Grace" and a beautiful old TIGER MOTH, have a real soft spot for these lovely old planes. My first ever flight was at the tender age of 18yrs, in a TIGER MOTH at NAPIER AIR PORT, NEW ZEALAND.....The pilot then was one JIM REEVES of the NAPIER AERO CLUB. The pilot of the above TIGER MOTH for the day was EVAN GRAY, of KATIKATI, BAY OF PLENTY, NZ, at the WAIHI AIRPORT BAY OF PLENTY, NEW ZEALAND , (lived in Waihi BOP for 35yrs) |
