flyerme Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Unbelievable, what Are the chances? So here I am flying lone dawn patrols in my nieuport, meanwhile an old aviation Pal ( whome was between planes) whom I have not spoken nor seen in 12 months rings up out of the blue! However last week I flew over his strip(8 nm away) in the war plane , gave him a wing waggle as I passed over. S o anyway he asks how I've been and then mentions if I saw the old war fighter fly over last week? I say" did it give you a wing waggle? Surprised he say " yes did it wave to you?lol. I filled him in on my new beast ect , then he gies on to say he was calling for some advice. He has found his dream plane a tiger moth replica, and was just after general info. But here's the thing! The tiger moth was parked next to my nieuport in qld , turns out the seller of my nieuport is the seller of the tiger( which I have inspected and sat in when up there) So the tiger will soon be reunited with the nieuport for dawn patrols... What are the chances that some one just up the road , whom had no idea about my nieuport would not only also by a war bird, but from same seller and then ring me?amazing destiny I say .... 2 1 4
bexrbetter Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 So the tiger will soon be reunited with the nieuport for dawn patrols... Now you both know the war is over don't you? You don't own real guns either do you? 4
flyerme Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 Now you both know the war is over don't you? You don't own real guns either do you? Lol nah , I only have the replica .303 Lewis mounted and the tiger is gun less ( for now) We plan on mounting paint ball guns and shooting each other !( just kidding ) Now you say the war is over? Geez reading some recent threads sounds like the wars just starting:oops: 1 3
flyerme Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 Cooooooooool................. Have you checked it out Pete? I did whilst up there, nice,and Kevin says it's pretty sweet? Dwayn ( new owner) should be there fri - sat. Have her home by Monday. PS. yes yes and big yes ,I GET TO FLY THE BEAST:plane: 1
JimG Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I've done a few hours in that Tiger , it sure is sweet to fly, as easy as a Cub JmG 1
Pilot Pete Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Kev had said that he would take me up in the Tigermoth before I flew my Nieuport, but I guess that wont be happening now
Pilot Pete Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I hadn't had a chance to see too much of the plane. I was more interested in the Nieuports and the Focker Tri-plane 1
flyerme Posted November 30, 2014 Author Posted November 30, 2014 It's home... New owner Dwayn arrived back today . Tiger looks nice except forthe completely broken off tail assembly ( wooden spring hanger). 1 1
Guernsey Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Be careful, even replica moths like fabric. Alan. 2
