...what a pleasure it was to watch you from 6000 ft as we went downwind for Heathrow. We were both very jealous. :thumleft:

Perhaps you would have preferred 'mid-Hampshire' as the given location?

I'm surprised at you Irv; you of all people should know BOCAS 'IVO' Basingstoke is 5,500ft London QNH (TA 6,000ft) :twisted:

Are you saying we shouldn't do aeros in controlled airspace then, @chevvron ? I'm sure I've done aeros on an SVFR clearance in Class-A before now.

Really? Jersey Approach seemed completely happy with it and gave me a box defined by the JSY to play in to my heart's content while they continued to handle the airliners going into Jersey - 6-9d between the 150 and 180 radials from SFC-FL100 IIRC. Of course, the Jersey Zone is Class-D now, but that's still controlled airspace, probably with many of the same controllers.

Let’s not forget the once in a lifetime formation aeros overhead Gatwick by the Tiger Club during the ash cloud!

That demanded a bit of reminiscence Googleage.

I passed that formation whilst on a grand tour of as many places-we-would-not-normally-visit as we could in one day, done in company with a mate in our two Twisters - it was a wonderful sight as we passed beneath the Tiger gang just before flying overhead Gatwick. :thumleft:

Our tour had already included overflight of East Midlands, Birmingham and Southampton - after Gatwick, we went on to play at London City and Stansted on the way home. Top day out.

The picture of the Tiger Club flyby still adorns the wall of the tower.
