"Adventures of a Tiger Moth Pilot" is an inspiring talk, laced
with humour, during which you will learn what it is like to come for a flying lesson in a 1930's vintage Tiger Moth.
Mark has flown over one thousand people in these open-cockpit aircraft. Many
have never seen an aircraft cockpit before, but after a few minutes instruction Mark hands them control.
Hear what happens next!
Fortunately, Mark is a qualified instructor and during this presentation you will learn to fly with Mark's "Four-minute
flying lesson", but remember....
"Don't let the cows get any bigger!"
This is real seat-of-the-pants flying, using traditional piloting skills rather
than an array of characterless computers. The vintage engines are still started by hand, the wings are still covered
in fabric, and the instruments are the latest 1930's designs.
Despite using a wheelchair following the late effects of childhood polio, he has regularly flown up to 14 people
a day, and is a fully qualified aerobatic and instrument instructor. He is also a display pilot authorised by the Civil Aviation
Authority (CAA).
When Mark talks about
about flying, the sky really is the limit.
