Whoa! Way cool, quite a bit of history you got to experience there. Can recall reading about those in the British aviation magazines and copies of Jane's. You have cool and generous friends! Thanks for sharing.

Where I hangar my Cub is full of classic planes, I think there are 5 or 6 Tiger moths, a couple Fleet Finches, a Bucker Jungman, and many other classic Cubs and Champs, etc. Great place!

Went to the airport to fly the Cub on this beautiful evening and ran into a friend who was just getting ready to take his Thruxton Jackaroo for quick flight so I jumped in with him. We flew over to Puslinch Lake and waved at the Seaplane Base there as well as the patrons eating dinner on the patio at the Old Marina Restaurant. Video Here
The Thruxton Jackaroo is a modified widened 4 seater civillian version of the DeHaviland Tiger Moth. It is such a graceful plane to fly in! To my understanding, there were only ever 15 of these made and are currently only a handful still flying here and in England.
