Tiger
Club |
|
The Club was formed over
a Royal Aero Club dinner in January 1956. Norman Jones of Rollason
Aircraft instigated the idea, the other founder members were
Jimmy Denyer, Basil Maile, Bev Snook, Chris Wren and the Hon.
Peter Vanneck. It was originally formed for those pilots interested
in racing Tiger Moths. The first Club aircraft were G-ANSH, ANZZ,
AOAA & AODR. ACDC joined the fleet in 1957. All the aircraft
were generously given to the Club by Norman Jones. |
